After installing the software and setting up your project, record the complete picture using video and other sensors. Then use the software to:
The Observer® allows for: Depending on your research needs, you can extend this with additional functionalities for integration of external data or E-prime, adding capabilities that streamline complex study designs. Important factors for the system requirements include the use of video, the amount of data, the complexity of data selections and analyses, and the size of external data files. For optimal performance and functionality, an up-to-date computer system is strongly recommended. The minimum requirements for workstations are: We recommend to remove other software (video recording, editing, or burning) or codecs which could interfere with The Observer. You can build elaborate filters based on combinations of independent variables, behaviors, physiological data, and time criteria. Examples of independent variables are treatment, subject ID, observer, and any other important circumstances. All data in the project is available for analysis. The analysis of data often begins with visualizing the event log, one or more videos, audio, and physiological data streams. All data streams are displayed alongside and play in perfect sync. By visualizing the data streams, you can easily see and present what you have collected. The Observer offers descriptive statistics of the coded behavior. You can calculate frequency and duration of behaviors, statistics for numerical modifiers or numerical external data. And you can perform a lag sequential analysis and a reliability analysis. A coder license is perfect for collaborative research projects. Multiple observers can simultaneously code and view behavior using The Observer coder license. Once coding is complete, the data can be merged into a main project with a full Observer license, allowing for data selection, analysis, and advanced visualization. A lot of animal experiments with livestock or wild animals are conducted outside a lab. With Pocket Observer you can take your lab on the go, eliminating the need for paper and clipboards.
