Embodiment Construction

[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention utilizes pressure-sensitive sensors and infrared sensors to record the behavioral responses of animals under sound stimulation.

[0038] The device of the present invention includes: a cage made of acrylic material and stainless steel pipe, a sound system, a pressure-sensitive recording pad, an infrared sensor and a curtain;

[0039] The size of the cage made of the acrylic material and stainless steel pipe is a cubic structure with a length of 1 m, a width of 0.8 m, and a height of 1 m. Acrylic material was used as a support plate for the pressure-sensitive pad and formed the walls of the cage. The acrylic plate had 10,000 small holes with a diameter of 1 cm. The stainless steel tube is the overall frame of the cage, and the acrylic plate is inlaid on the stainless steel tube frame. ...

Abstract

The invention provides a device and method for evaluating animal behaviour in response to sound stimuli. The device for evaluating the animal behaviour in response to the sound stimuli comprises soundsystems and a curtain, and further comprises a cage, a pressure-sensitive recording pad, an infrared sensor and an animal sound stimulus response data processing module; the sound systems give an animal the sound stimuli at different intensity and different frequency; the pressure-sensitive recording pad is arranged on the bottom surface of the cage, records footstep displacement and movement ranges of the animal under the sound stimuli, and transmits recorded data to the animal sound stimulus response data processing module; the infrared sensor is installed on the cage, records physical response of the animal under the sound stimuli, and transmits recorded data to the animal sound stimulus response data processing module; and the animal sound stimulus response data processing module processes the received data, then reproduces the response of the animal after the animal hears sounds through a three-dimensional animation, and conducts auditory function evaluation and evaluation of aneffect of artificial implanted auditory equipment according to the animal behaviour in response to the sound stimuli.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of animal behavior observation devices, and in particular relates to a device and method for evaluating animal acoustic stimulus response behavior. Background technique [0002] Animal behavior observation experiments mainly focus on the scientific and objective research of animal behavior under natural conditions. The research objects include animal feeding behavior, defensive behavior, reproductive behavior, social behavior, learning behavior, communication behavior, and spatiotemporal behavior. One of the important technologies of scientific research. [0003] Conventional animal experiments include open field experiment, Moirris water maze experiment, Y maze experiment, elevated cross maze experiment, sucrose preference experiment, forced swimming experiment, etc., but the related experimental devices are all for small animals such as mice, rats and guinea pigs. However, the social behavior and learning behavior ...
