Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science
  • Engineering

Background:

  • Touchscreen assays are valuable for rodent cognitive behavior studies.
  • Developing these assays faces programming and engineering challenges.
  • Commercial systems are costly, and open-source options lack adaptability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce Visiomode, an open-source platform for creating rodent touchscreen behavioral tasks.
  • Provide a flexible, adaptable, and low-cost solution for neuroscience research.

Main Methods:

  • Visiomode utilizes a Raspberry Pi computer with a web-based interface.
  • A plug-in system allows adaptation for various behavioral tasks.
  • The platform includes an operant chamber adaptable for diverse assays.

Main Results:

  • Visiomode was used to create simple stimulus-response and complex visual discrimination tasks.
  • Mice demonstrated rapid sensorimotor learning.
  • Mice successfully switched between different motor responses, like nose poke and reaching.

Conclusions:

  • Visiomode offers a low-cost, extensible alternative to commercial touchscreen systems.
  • This platform aims to increase the adoption of touchscreen assays in neuroscience.
  • Visiomode will accelerate research into cognition, decision-making, and sensorimotor behaviors.
