Getting Started#
Aeon is an open-source platform designed to study the neural basis of natural behaviours over naturalistic timescales, from weeks to months. It features a modular, scalable, and programmable habitat where animals live. Equipped with various interactive and non-interactive modules like foraging patches, nesting areas, microphones, RFID readers, and high-speed cameras, this setup mimics complex environments, allowing
animals to exhibit natural behaviours such as foraging, nesting, and social interaction, and
continuous tracking of animal position, pose, and identity, providing a means to quantify the animal’s behavioural dynamics and internal states at millisecond resolution.
Further information about the project can be found in the About section.
Key features#
Online tracking of multiple animals in the Aeon habitat.
Week-long recording and analysis of Neuropixels data.
