Flexible homecage-style experimentation
ConductNest is a modular enclosure that lets rodents enter through three illuminated ports, trigger an integrated reward dispenser, and interact under ConductVision supervision. The same system supports cognitive tests, anxiety paradigms, and long-term homecage monitoring without moving animals between apparatuses.
Designed for multi-purpose workflows
- Configure three entrances with individualized cues in front of the automated pellet or liquid dispenser to create place-learning or operant schedules.
- Capture high-throughput data with ConductVision-correct vs. incorrect entries, latency, and interaction heatmaps are calculated automatically.
- Run short trials or multi-week observations; the low-stress environment and minimal handling requirements preserve natural behavior.
- Integrate optogenetic stimulators, TTL cues, or RFID IDs using the modular rail and ConductVision sync layer.
Validated across behavioral applications
Labs deploy ConductNest for homecage monitoring, multi-animal social tracking, automated cognitive testing, and light-based anxiety studies. The platform exports CSV logs and ConductVision dashboards so teams can collaborate on analyses or push data straight into statistical pipelines.

What is the ConductNest Behavioral Monitoring System?
ConductNest is a 24/7 home-cage behavioral monitoring system that uses computer vision to continuously track rodent activity, social interactions, and circadian patterns without disturbing the animals.
How does the ConductNest system work?
Infrared cameras record rodent behavior in the home cage continuously. AI algorithms analyze the video to detect and classify behaviors including grooming, feeding, nesting, social interaction, and sleep-wake cycles without human intervention.
What research applications use ConductNest?
ConductNest is used for longitudinal behavioral phenotyping, circadian rhythm studies, welfare monitoring, and early disease detection in neurodegenerative disease models. Its non-invasive 24/7 monitoring captures behaviors missed in traditional short testing sessions.
