ABSTRACT
A new electronic system has been developed to trace the location and movement of small animals in an open-field environment. The system, incorporated with a conventional touch panel position sensor (TPPS) and an IBM AT compatible computer, automtically digitizes and records the moving path of the animal. The detection principle of the TPPS is based on the pressure effect. Whenever an animal is put on the TPPS, the location of the animal can be detected. The personal computer system is in corporate to record the locomotion data of the animal. The system described here is shown to be a reliable and accurate tool to record the moving path of an animal. This measurement did not require extra light or other stimuli, and the apparatus is low priced, and simple to build up and user friendly.
