What is Resting & Immobility Detection?

Immobility and rest encompass states from quiet wakefulness to sleep-like quiescence. Measuring rest patterns is essential for circadian rhythm studies, welfare assessment, and distinguishing true sedation from motor impairment — a critical distinction in pharmacological and toxicological research.

ConductVision classifies rest using movement thresholds calibrated per session. The system distinguishes freezing (rigid, fear-related immobility) from resting (relaxed posture, curled or prone) based on contextual and postural cues from pose estimation, preventing misclassification across paradigms.

Research Applications

Circadian Research

  • Light/dark cycle activity profiling over 24-hour sessions
  • Sleep architecture analysis in home cage environments
  • Jet-lag and shift-schedule disruption models

Welfare Assessment

  • 24-hour home cage monitoring for activity budgets
  • Post-surgical recovery tracking
  • Environmental enrichment effect on rest patterns

Pharmacology

  • Sedation scoring for CNS-depressant compounds
  • Anesthesia recovery time quantification
  • Stimulant vs depressant behavioral profiling
