Motion Tracking Cameras

Motion tracking cameras are imaging systems that detect and record the movement of people, animals, or objects over time, providing quantitative data for behavioral analysis. They capture sequential frames and use image-processing algorithms to identify targets, follow changes in position, and calculate measures such as speed, distance, trajectory, and time spent in specific areas. In behavior research, these systems can monitor locomotion, social interactions, exploration, and responses to environmental or experimental conditions with minimal observer interference. The resulting spatial and temporal data support reproducible studies of animal behavior, motor performance, learning, and changes associated with development, disease, or treatment.

Using Eye-tracking to Assess the Relative Importance of Visual and Vestibular Input to Subcortical Motion Processing in the Roll Plane

2025

The methodology explored visual and vestibular contributions to gaze stabilization during optokinetic and whole-body rotations. Stimulations were carried out through visual, vestibular, and visuovestibular trials. Torsional eye-movement gain and nystagmus frequencies served as indicators for the subcortical relay of sensory-specific motion information towards the reflexive brainstem response for each trial.
