Live metric overlay
Distance traveled, instantaneous velocity, and zone occupancy displayed as numeric readouts during acquisition. Values update every frame.

Real-Time Analysis
Analyze behavior during the session, not after
See distance traveled, velocity, and zone occupancy updating live as the animal moves — adjust your protocol the same day, not after overnight batch processing.

The problem
Batch processing delays experimental decisions
Conventional workflows require recording completion, file transfer, and offline analysis before any behavioral data are visible. Hours or days pass between data collection and results, making same-day protocol adjustments impossible and extending pilot study timelines by weeks.
- Results unavailable until batch processing completes — often hours or overnight
- Protocol adjustments (dose, duration, arena configuration) cannot be made until the next session day
- Pilot studies that should take days extend to weeks because each iteration requires a full processing cycle
The solution
Behavioral metrics update during acquisition
ConductVision computes tracking and scoring in the same processing loop as frame acquisition. Distance, velocity, zone occupancy, and trajectory visualizations display in real time. Session summary statistics are available the moment recording stops.
- Distance traveled, velocity, and zone time update on-screen with sub-second latency
- Trajectory overlay renders the animal's path as the session progresses
- Summary statistics — means, SEMs, zone entries — are available immediately at session end
Endpoints
Dependent variables available during and immediately after acquisition
Real-time trajectory visualization
Cumulative path rendered on the arena view as the animal moves. Color-coded by velocity or time for immediate visual assessment.

Session summary at recording end
Total distance, mean velocity, zone durations, and entry counts computed and exported the moment the session concludes. No post-processing queue.

Applications
Workflows accelerated by real-time feedback
Pilot studies with rapid iteration
See whether animals engage with a novel apparatus or zone configuration during the first session. Adjust arena layout, trial duration, or stimulus parameters and re-run the same day.
Measures
- Zone occupancy
- Exploration latency
- Distance in target zone
Dose-response screening
Compare locomotor suppression or activation across doses within a single testing day. Real-time readouts reveal effective dose ranges without waiting for batch analysis.
Measures
- Total distance
- Mean velocity
- Activity suppression ratio
Acute pharmacology same-day readout
Administer compound and observe behavioral effects in real time. Determine whether additional doses, time points, or subjects are needed before the session day ends.
Measures
- Locomotor activation
- Stereotypy onset
- Temporal activity profile
Protocol optimization and troubleshooting
Verify tracking quality, lighting conditions, and arena calibration during the session. Identify and correct setup problems before collecting an entire cohort of unusable data.
Measures
- Tracking confidence
- Detection rate
- Signal-to-noise
