Technical Training

Measuring Behavior conferences offer participants the unique chance to benefit from the expertise of Noldus engineers and consultants with regard to software and instrumentation for behavioral research. For instance, if you have a complex coding scheme for an observational study and find it hard to design a suitable configuration, or if you are struggling with a particular type of data analysis, you can sign up at the conference site for a personal product training.

Throughout the Measuring Behavior '98 meeting, engineers and consultants were present to provide free assistance and training in the use of software products. For hands-on training in Noldus products, a computer room with 20 fully operational systems was set up. Technical training was available for the following products:
