The Modified Biel Maze is a dry-land route-learning apparatus with turns, cul-de-sacs, three tunnel passages, and a ramped goal area. Its constrained route supports manual scoring of progress, errors, and acquisition across repeated trials.
Dry apparatus with drawing-controlled geometry
Mouse and rat configurations retain their archived list prices, wall heights, and reported lane-length ranges. These ranges describe the archived route but do not replace the complete fabrication plan, so the footprint, individual segment layout, tunnel positions, and ramp relationship are confirmed on a model-specific drawing.
Built for repeatable route scoring
The overhead view supports manual video recording while opaque walls reduce direct sightlines through the route. Investigators should document start orientation, goal condition, error definition, cleaning order, room cues, illumination, and trial interval before training begins.

Practical Tips
Define cul-de-sac entry and retreat rules before scoring.
Why: Consistent operational definitions are required for comparable error counts.
Clean and dry tunnels and blind alleys in a fixed order.
Why: Residue can create unintended local cues in a constrained route.

Background reading relevant to this product:
Is the Modified Biel Maze filled with water?
No. This product is the archived dry-land apparatus with opaque walls, tunnels, blind alleys, and a ramped goal.
Is this the Cincinnati Water Maze?
No. The Cincinnati Water Maze is a separate water-filled route apparatus with its own geometry and protocol.
How many tunnels are included?
The approved route includes exactly three tunnel passages.
What do the archived lane-length ranges mean?
They are the model-specific range values preserved on the owned MazeEngineers listing. The approved drawing still resolves every segment, junction, and overall footprint.
