Prepare and calibrate
Upload an overhead video, mark the arena corners and enter physical dimensions when distance and speed in centimeters are required.
MOUSE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS
Quantify mouse behavior without building a custom pipeline.
Use overhead video to measure locomotor distance, speed, spatial preference and configured immobility—with the analysis settings stored alongside each experiment.
Measurements support behavioral interpretation; they do not identify psychological states or replace protocol-specific validation.1234
Reviewable outputsTrajectoryOccupancyMetricsIllustrative interface preview. Values are not experimental claims.
Behavioral measures with visible assumptions
Configuration is explicit, outputs remain connected to the source analysis and researchers can inspect the tracking before interpretation.
Track movement
Background-subtraction-based tracking estimates the animal centroid frame by frame within the calibrated arena.
Configure spatial measures
Choose grid dimensions and operational center-zone boundaries appropriate to the study protocol.
Define activity states
Configure speed smoothing, an immobility threshold and minimum bout duration; missing detections interrupt episodes.
Review quality
Inspect detections and gaps against the video before relying on summary statistics.

SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONS
Validate the workflow for your protocol
Tracking quality depends on camera position, arena visibility, contrast, lighting, occlusion and configured thresholds. RodentMetrics does not infer anxiety, diagnose conditions or replace manual quality review. Report protocol choices, inspect gaps and retain independent source-data backups.
