iPac Behavioral Controller
High Throughput Behavior
The iPac is a system for high throughput behavioral neuroscience, allowing you to run up to 8 behavioral experiments at the same time.
Manage all of your behavior boxes concurrently with independent behavioral paradigms. For example, control a self administration task in one chamber and a startle response in another.
Train subjects with the iPac and then seamlessly migrate your experimental animal to integrate with your fiber photometry or other neuroscience techniques, or scale up your behavioral neuroscience projects by running multiple paradigms and subjects at once.
