ConductMaze gives you direct hardware control over operant chambers, shuttle boxes, treadmills, and sensory testing rigs. Build protocols visually, run multi-chamber experiments in parallel, and export publication-ready data — all from one platform.
Across 15 behavioral domains, from operant conditioning to depression models.
Hardware-level event triggering with sub-millisecond precision timing.
Run parallel experiments with independent protocol control per chamber.
Live streaming to CSV, Excel, and EthoVision with synchronized event markers.
Automated reinforcement schedules, lever/nose-poke tracking, pellet dispensing, and self-administration paradigms.
Precise shock delivery with tone/light CS pairing, automated freezing triggers, and multi-context chamber reconfiguration.
Shuttle box automation, step-through/step-down latency measurement, and rotating arena place avoidance.
Acoustic startle chambers, pre-pulse inhibition, thermal nociception, mechanical pain thresholds, and orofacial pain assessment.
Rotarod acceleration profiles, treadmill endurance testing, grip strength measurement, and skilled reaching analysis.
Three-chamber sociability automation, social discrimination protocols, and social self-administration paradigms.
Five-choice serial reaction time task, intra/extra-dimensional set-shifting, and touchscreen visual discrimination.
T-maze and Y-maze alternation, radial arm maze arm tracking, Morris water maze navigation, and Barnes maze spatial search.
Elevated plus maze, zero maze, open field, light/dark box, marble burying, and approach-avoidance conflict paradigms.
Indirect calorimetry integration for VO2/VCO2/RER measurement during rest and exercise.
Continuous running wheel monitoring, lickometer microstructure analysis, nest building, and burrowing assessment.
Forced swim test, tail suspension, sucrose preference, and novelty-suppressed feeding paradigms.
Novel object recognition, temporal order memory, object-place associations, and contextual recognition paradigms.
Conditioned place preference, delay and effort discounting, probabilistic learning, and sign-tracking paradigms.
Connect ConductMaze to video tracking, electrophysiology, optogenetics, and metabolic systems.
Digital TTL output interfaces for synchronizing ConductMaze behavioral events with electrophysiology, calcium imaging, optogenetics, and fiber photometry recording systems.
