palmReader

Blackbox’s Cutting Edge Software for Acquiring & Analyzing Rodent Behavior Data

Our Palmreader software is a data management and analysis tool that provides access to machine-learning rodent-behavioral analysis algorithms to automate measurement of paw luminance ratios (representing relative weight borne on each paw) and body pose estimation, and enables users to train convolutional neural networks to automate human-scored behaviors of interest. The software package provides remote access to your data and machine learning analytics functionality from your dedicated Blackbox workstation.
