Observing animals is a key part of many research areas, from neuroscience to wildlife and farm animal behavior studies. The Observer allows you to easily annotate behavior and synchronize it with multiple datastreams.
Neuroscience research often relies on standardized tests, but certain studies require observing animal behavior outside of these parameters. The Observer is the perfect tool for categorizing such behaviors, streamlining your research process. Whether you are looking at feeding, social, stress or any other set of behaviors, The Observer makes your life a lot easier. The Observer can be used for the behavioral study of all animals from pigs, to chickens and cows. Observing an animal while it is trained can give great insight into the response of the animal to such training as well as the success rate. With The Observer, you can easily log the behaviors during or after the training session. Measuring the behavior of wild animals is time consuming. With the Pocket Observer you can take your lab on the go and make collecting data more streamlined, saving you valuable time in the field. The Observer allows you to synchronize data streams to find patterns between physiological measurements and behavior. Think of heartrate, acoustics, or environmental data. Did you know? The Observer was originally designed for logging insect behaviors. Even though it has grown from a simple program to the platform it is today, The Observer is still perfectly suited for studying insect behavior.
Western lowland gorillas use gestures to negotiate and even display 'accents' in their communication. A new study explores these complex social interactions.
Researchers from the University of Padova used The Observer to measure the behavior of dolphins when exposed to different types of enrichment.
The elephants at the Oregon Zoo got a new and improved place to live. This 4-year study described in detail how the animals adapted and liked the new features of their habitat.
