Video Tracking Solutions
Custom Bonsai-Based Behavioral Analysis
Leverage the power of the Bonsai framework for real-time video tracking and behavioral analysis. We design and build custom tracking systems tailored to your experimental needs — from single-animal locomotion analysis to multi-arena high-throughput screening.
Key Features
Co-Authored by Our Team
Our founder Pavel Itskov co-authored the Bonsai framework paper (689 citations in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics). We have deep expertise in the platform.
Real-Time Processing
Process high-frame-rate video in real time. Track position, velocity, orientation, and behavioral state without post-hoc analysis bottlenecks.
Multi-Arena Support
Track multiple animals in parallel across many arenas. Ideal for high-throughput locomotion screening.
Closed-Loop Capability
Trigger stimuli based on tracked behavior in real time. Position-contingent, speed-contingent, or zone-contingent responses.
Custom Hardware Integration
Integrate cameras, microcontrollers, electrophysiology systems, and custom sensors into a unified acquisition pipeline.
Turnkey or Collaborative
We can deliver a complete system ready to use, or work with your team to develop custom tracking workflows.
