35 years of The Observer XT
The Observer XT has been around for 35 years. It has evolved from a behavior coding tool into a comprehensive software platform that powers full-scale behavioral research.
The Observer XT is now known as the GOLD standard for behavioral coding. At its core, The Observer XT is designed to efficiently monitor, code, and analyze behavior.

Unlock the power of the innovations in The Observer XT 17
Experience the upgraded GOLD standard for behavioral coding, with exciting new features to explore.
- Dynamic visualization behavioral coding | To make coding visually more attractive and transparent, now the encoded behaviors are updated as you score with The Observer XT®.
- Syncing with wearable EEG headset | You can synchronize behavioral observations with neural data by integrating data from Bitbrain's EEG diadem. Explore new horizons for conducting real-world experiments!
- Improved permission process | When starting a new project, a dialog box appears explaining the data transparency policy. This is a friendly reminder for the experiment leader to ask participants for permission.
