Continuously monitoring rodent work output onto force cell

A project log for FORCE - Force Output of Rodent Calibrated Effort

This dual-force cell monitor and reward dispenser is used to run rodent operant behavior in which animals learn to work for rewards.

Currently ARROW continuously monitors (displayed on the LED screen of an Adafruit Mini TFT with Joystick Featherwing) and outputs (via BNC) force cell readings on the active (reward-dispensing) and inactive (non-reward-dispensing) force cells. We are in the process of adding pre-programmed fixed and progressive ratio behavioral paradigms; stay tuned!
