Companies operating in a broad range of behavior-related disciplines had
been invited to exhibit their products at the conference. This included
manufacturers of behavioral research equipment, activity monitors, microdialysis
equipment, physiological sensors, biotelemetry and radio tracking systems,
bat detectors, eye-tracking systems, biomechanics equipment, biofeedback
systems, etc. Measuring Behavior 2002 was a great place to get
up-to-date with what is on the market for modern behavioral research.
The following companies were present at Measuring Behavior 2002:

Metris
Metris is a young and innovative company developing measurement
and signal-analysis systems. LABORAS, our product on display, is
a fully automatic system for identification of behavioural elements
in rodents. The technique is based on analysis of the vibrations
induced by the animal movements. The following behaviours can be
identified: grooming, feeding, drinking, locomotion, immobility,
climbing and rearing. Additionally, tracking parameters like XY-position,
speed, and distance are calculated. |
