Excited to share another #opensource tool from the lab! We have been using this set up to do awake head-fixed scans without the need for any anesthesia on the day of the scans! Now working on integrating licking behaviour and linear treadmill operandum! @OpenBehavior

We will be posting less frequently going forward. Funding for our project from the NSF has completed. We will proceed as we first did with this project, with a more grass roots approach involving undergraduates at American University in creating content for our website.
