INSTRUCTOR RESUME

Dr. Patrick Zimmerman is a Behavior Research Consultant at Noldus Information Technology. He is a behavioral biologist with extensive experience in the study of animal learning, behavior, and welfare. Patrick has been working at Noldus IT since 2005. His expertise includes behavior research methods and analysis, integration of behavioral and physiological data, and gait analysis in rodents.

BENEFITS OF THE TUTORIAL

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the Sequence Analysis Toolkit to carry out advanced analysis of EthoVision XT data.

FEATURES

Participants will learn about:

  • Exporting data from EthoVision XT for the Sequence Analysis Toolkit.
  • Advanced analysis of zone visits / transitions with the Sequence Analysis Toolkit with examples from standard tests, such as the Y-maze, elevated plus maze and radial maze.
  • Analysis of individual bouts of behavioral states (Movement, Mobility, Elongation).
  • Integration of EthoVision XT behavioral states with The Observer XT.

AUDIENCE

This tutorial is aimed at EthoVision XT users who are interested in advanced zone analysis. We assume a basic understanding of EthoVision XT and The Observer XT.
