Measuring Behavior '96

Measuring Behavior '96

International Workshop on Methods and Techniques
in Behavioral Research

Utrecht, The Netherlands
16-18 October 1996


Proceedings

From 16 through 18 October, 153 scientists from 25 different countries gathered at the Rudolf Magnus Institute for Neurosciences of Utrecht University for Measuring Behavior '96, the international workshop on methods and techniques in behavioral research. The delegates had very diverse backgrounds, ranging from ethology and behavioral ecology to psychopharmacology and human factors psychology, but they had one thing in common: a strong interest in the methodology of behavioral data collection and analysis. The workshop program included oral presentations, posters, scientific tours, demonstrations of new instruments and computer programs, training in Noldus products, and the first international user meeting for users of EthoVision and The Observer.

And of course, do not forget to read Dr. Menno Kruk's meeting report "Measuring behaviour into the twenty-first century" which was published in the May 1997 issue of Trends in Neurosciences (vol. 20, no. 5, pp. 187-189). If you do not have access to TINS, contact us and ask for a reprint.
