Abstract:
A T.V. Border-Line detector is described for making automatic long-term records of locomotory activity of animals.The apparatus is used in combination with a closed T.V. system. A video recorder is switched on for some seconds at the moment an animal passes a fictitious detection line corresponding with a scanning-line of a T.V.-picture.
