Abstract:
Discusses the implementation of an automated apparatus for recording and quantifying food choice behavior by small animals. A computer controls the apparatus by positioning a video camera over each one of twelve petri dishes. When the camera is in position, an image of the underlying dish is captured and the digitized image is returned to the computer for further processing. Within the computer a digital image processing procedure analyzes and quantifies the observed behavior.
