Project Overview

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.

Project Status

Currently half of our team is in the process of constructing the system that will securely fasten the monkey's cage to a force platform. The other half of our team is writing software to process the data obtained from a startle response experiment and display it in a readable form to researchers.
