Overview
The Maze Engineers Operant Conditioning Chamber is a fully modular behavioral research platform. Start with the base chamber for your species (Mouse or Rat), then add only the modules your experimental protocol requires.
How to Configure
Step 1: Select your base chamber (Mouse or Rat).
Step 2: Choose your response mechanism — Retractable Levers or Nose Poke Sensors.
Step 3: Choose your reinforcement — Pellet Dispenser, Lickometer, or Syringe Pump.
Step 4: Add stimulus modules — LED Cue Lights, Tone Speaker, or Shock Grid.
Step 5: Add a Sound Attenuating Enclosure for acoustic isolation (recommended).
Step 6: Add a TTL Interface Module to synchronize with electrophysiology, fiber photometry, calcium imaging, or optogenetics systems.
Step 7: Add Conduct Software to control up to 16 chambers simultaneously.
Standard Configuration Example
A typical lever-press food reward setup: Base Chamber + Retractable Levers + Pellet Dispenser + LED Cue Lights + Tone Speaker + Shock Grid + Sound Attenuating Enclosure = $7,890 (Mouse) / $8,190 (Rat).
TTL Interface Module available as add-on for neuroscience recording integration ($390).
chamber_dimensions_mouse
- 18 cm (L) x 18 cm (W) x 20 cm (H)
chamber_dimensions_rat
- 26 cm (L) x 26 cm (W) x 25 cm (H)
What is the minimum configuration I need?
The base chamber plus at least one response mechanism and one reinforcement source for a functional operant setup.
How does pricing work?
You pay for exactly what you select. Base starts at $2,890 (Mouse) or $3,190 (Rat). A fully loaded standard configuration totals $7,890 (Mouse) or $8,190 (Rat).
Can I add modules later?
Yes. All modules use standardized mounting points and can be added at any time.
