Key Results Metrics
Measuring Vision and Behavioral Responses
Freeze Duration
Tracks the time rodents remain still, indicating fear response.
Flight Velocity
Measures speed during escape, reflecting vision-dependent behavior.
Proximity to Shelter
Analyzes distance from the shelter before and after stimulus exposure.
Latency to React
Time taken for rodents to respond to the looming stimulus.
Total Path Length
Calculates the total distance traveled during the session.
Looming Visual Stimuli Box
