Our goal is to design a system to quantify the startle response in the Rhesus monkey. Our system must have the ability to record data remotely, accomodate to the current configuration of the monkey's cage and remain out of sight from the monkey.
Team Members:
Corey Arnold
Braden Rudolph
Mike Keller
Mike Mussallem
We are currently have a working prototype that is being used to test our design. However, we are still waiting for our new computer to arrive.
