Objetivo General:
THE OVERALL AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY AND RECORD THE BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS FROM SMALL VERTEBRATE SPECIES.
Objetivos Específicos:
- Use Raspberry-Pi single board computers to ensemble an electronic system to read PIT tags and trigger external components for behavioral monitoring.
- Integrate several (at least 5) Raspberry-Pi single board computers as modules into a unified system to control external components for registering video, audio and providing individualized stimuli.
- Evaluate performance of the monitoring system for registering behavior of laboratory rats.
- Test the developed monitoring system on laboratory rats for comparing the effect of noise in spatial memory performance.
- Test the developed monitoring system on bats in the field.
- Test the developed monitoring system on hummingbirds in the field.
