Notes

You can use dependent variables:

In Trial Control. For example to start tracking when a specific behavior or event occurs.

In the Data profile. For example, to select the intervals when the subject was moving.

In the Analysis profile. For example, to calculate statistics of distance, velocity or specific behaviors.

Some dependent variables are only available if you have one of the add-on modules installed: Trial and Hardware Control, Social Interaction, Rat/Mouse Behavior Recognition and Live Mouse Tracker.

If none of the dependent variables cannot help quantify behavior of your subjects, please contact Noldus, so we can discuss your analysis requirements.
