Stages / Trials

Stages are used to organize the experiment.

For each stage, it is possible:

•to define a recording duration and a delay before the start of recording (when the videos are recorded by Ethotrack).

•to define the start and end conditions of the analysis with the analysis sequencer.

•to organize the tests to be carried out according to several factors. For example, in an object recognition test, it is possible to have a “Training” stage consisting of 4 trials and a “New object” stage consisting of a single trial.

•to select the animals that must participate to the stage.

•to automatically create the tests (as a reminder: a test is a trial carried out by an animal).

•plan the tests in advance.

A protocol must have at least one stage.

This tab displays the list of stages and allows you to add or delete a stage.
