MazeMaster - An automatic animal behavior tracking software
TM
MazeMaster is the automatic simple video tracking
software, with friendly user interface. With this software you can analyse the behavior, movement and
activity of the animal. It is not only just tracking software but you can also use it to automize your research.
Taking work flow consideration of any protocol,
our software works according to the end user’s
requirement. Such as, before starting any research
work we set protocol first for the experiment. In protocol we can decide number of groups, animal in each
group, treatment and doses of each group. We can
also decide experiment conducting flow such as all
animal in one group or animal in each group. For
example- A1,A2,A3 or A1, B1, C1… With the help of Maze
Master you can increase the efficiency and the perfection of your research, while reducing the possibility of
human error.
BENEFITS
Time saving
Reduces chance of human error
Works with any customize maze
Freely choose parameters from extensive list
Live or recorded video tracking
FEATURES
Maze master is ideal software tool for a wide range of
behavioral experiments. It works with different mazes
and apparatus such as open field, elevated plus maze,

Special Zone drawing tools.
As we have many issues in drawing Zones for Morris water maze, open field, circular open field. For
these maze we have given dedicated tools to draw zones. So with single click you can select the
pattern, apply & resize. So it will automatically adjust with calibration of maze. After this you can easily
rename this zones.
Beside these we have our regular zones tools such as Circle, rectangle and polyline.

Ambience design- Lighting System
Surrounding atmosphere play important role in behavioral
experiments.
Change in atmosphere such as temperature, lights, sound
etc. affects the behavioral of the animal and ultimately result
of the experiment.
1. We help you to design and construct the acoustic room for
the behavior experiment. We supply inverted light system
with dimmer to have uniform light in the room and with the
help of dimmer and lux meter we can control different intensity of light.
2. To record nocturnal behavior we have special lighting
system with supports the Night Vision Camera.
Camera
We support different types of camera. Such as
webcam, Analogue camera, firewall camera and IP cameras.
We also provide fitting for our cameras on celling with height
adjustment. So with different sizes of mazes you can set
height camera easily.

REDIAL 8 ARM MAZE
To assess working and reference memory in rodents,
researchers often use the radial arm maze apparatus.
This apparatus consists of eight equally spaced arms
radiating from a small circular central platform. The
design ensures that after checking for food at the end
of an arm the animal is forced to return to the central
platform before making another choice. As a result, the
animal always has eight possible options

ELEVATED PLUS MAZE
The elevated plus maze is well characterized behavioral
paradigm to investigate anxiety in rats and mice. The
Elevated Plus-Maze is used to assess anxiety-like
behavior in laboratory animals The maze exploits the
conflict between the innate fear that rodents have of
open areas versus their desire to explore novel environments. The elevated plus maze consists of two opposing open arms and two opposing closed arms, together
forming the shape of a cross and connected by a central
square.
Available for rat or mouse.
Grey/black non-reflective base plate.
Removable legs mean the maze can be stored flat when not in used.

ZERO MAZE
The zero maze is used to investigate anxiety-related
behavior, and for phenotpyping of rats and mice.The
elevated Zero-Maze is a modification of the Elevated
Plus-Maze which incorporates both traditional and
novel ethological measures in the analysis of anxiety.
The design comprises an elevated circular platform
with two opposite enclosed quadrants and two open.
This removes any ambiguity in interpretation of time
spent on the central square of the traditional “plus”
design, and allowing uninterrupted exploration.
Available for rat or mouse.
Walls fit solidly in slotted base.
Grey/black non-reflective base plate.
Removable legs mean the maze can be stored flat when not in used.

MORRIS WATER MAZE
Water Maze is one of the most widely used methods to
assess spatial and learning memory. The Water Maze
tank is filled with water and equipped with a platform
which acts as a means of escape for animals. During
testing, animals learn the location of the platform using
spatial cues.
The Morris Water Maze is a behavioral procedure
designed to test special memory. The maze has advantages over conventional mazes such as:
MORRIS WATER MAZE
Elimination of local cues such as trace sents
No fixed escape formula

T MAZE
The T-Maze is used largely in preference and spatial
learning tasks. It is also used to investigate spatial
learning and memory in rats and mice. Animals learn to
alternate between arms based on their memory of the
previously visited arms or choose an arm based on the
reward presented. The simple capital T shape design
incorporates a single choice point with only two alternatives.
Available for rat or mouse.

Y MAZE
The Y-maze is similar to the T-maze, but has three identical arms. Gradual turns of the Y-maze decrease learning time as compared to the sharp turns of the T-maze.
