A software architecture for monitoring and stimulating rodents
The area of Neurophysiology of Social Behaviors in Rodents has the general objective of investigating the electrophysiological correlates of social behaviors in rodents. Examples of studies in the field include the investigation of neural processing disorders and synaptic plasticity in animal models of autism and changes in synaptic plasticity in animal models of epilepsy. This area is in constant need of new equipment to aid research, and with this aim, this work aims to develop software capable of receiving video information in real time (using computer vision to define the positioning of the animal), ultrasound audio and brain electrophysiology signal, represent them in a user-friendly way and from these data, generate stimuli to the brain depending on the type of test being performed.
