CONCEPTUAL ILLUSTRATION
From video to behavioral evidence
Detection and tracking support behavioral analysis across assays. Pose-aware methods are applied where the assay's behavioral definition depends on body posture, including Y-Maze arm-entry detection and pose-derived, validation-only NOR exploration analysis.
HOW IT WORKS
One guided workflow, configured for each assay
Upload a recording, choose an assay, define its geometry and review the resulting measurements.
Upload video
Choose an overhead experiment recording.

RECORDING REQUIREMENTS
Designed for controlled behavioral recordings
RodentMetrics works best when the animal can be distinguished consistently throughout a stable, clearly visible arena.
Not sure whether your recording is suitable? Read the recording guide Open Field Test Analysis Software- Fixed camera positioned consistently over the arena
- Stable arena and camera geometry
- One mouse as the primary moving subject
- Minimal movement from other objects in the scene
- Adequate contrast and consistent lighting
- Arena boundaries visible for setup and calibration
BUILT FOR BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH
Quantitative outputs without a custom tracking pipeline
RodentMetrics helps researchers turn rodent experiment videos into quantitative behavioral outputs while keeping the analysis configuration visible.
SCIENTIFIC TRANSPARENCY
Transparent by design
Deterministic analysis
Quantitative metrics are calculated by the configured analysis pipeline, not generated by an LLM.
Reviewable tracking
Inspect detections, tracking gaps and behavioral states directly against the source video.
Reproducible configuration
Analysis settings are stored with every completed experiment and report.
Raw data access
Export frame-level coordinates and behavioral states to CSV.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about recordings, analysis, results, and data handling.
All RodentMetrics assay workflows are designed for recordings from a fixed overhead camera with stable arena and camera geometry, clearly visible arena or maze boundaries, consistent lighting, adequate contrast between the animal and background, one animal as the primary moving subject, and minimal movement from unrelated objects. Recording suitability can vary, so review the guidance before starting.
Read the recording guidanceNo desktop software installation is required. Through the browser, you upload a recording, define the arena, configure and run the analysis, then review and export the results.
RodentMetrics provides the mouse trajectory, spatial occupancy, configured center/periphery measurements, and tracking review. It also calculates calibrated distance and speed, plus movement and immobility metrics, when physical arena dimensions are supplied. These are quantitative measurements and do not provide a biological or clinical diagnosis.
Yes. Batch Analysis lets you upload multiple recordings, configure them, and run their analyses through one guided batch workflow.
Yes. Completed analyses provide frame-level CSV data, a research-report PDF, and the existing result visualizations, including the trajectory and occupancy heatmap.
Uploaded source videos that are not analyzed are retained for up to 14 days. After a successful analysis, the source video is deleted once the results have been safely stored. Derived result assets follow the retention period described in the Privacy Policy.

View pricingOpen Field Test, Elevated Plus Maze, Y-Maze, Novel Object Recognition and Morris Water Maze are the currently available assays. Some NOR and MWM measurements retain explicit pose-derived, validation-only or single-trial limitations, which are shown with the relevant methodology and results.
