How it Works

Stream photobeam data to your BehaviorCloud account

Connect your photobeam system
Connecting a BehaviorCloud Bridge to your SDI photobeam activity system transforms it into a modern, cloud-connected data streaming machine. No extra software needed. Now you can control experiments and receive data in real-time through your BehaviorCloud account.
Run experiments
Configure experiment settings and start or stop trials using your computer or mobile device. All the controls you need in the palm of your hand. You can even check in on long-term photobeam experiments from your phone, without even setting foot in the lab.
Analyze and share data
From raw XY beam-breaks to analyzed ambulatory vs. resting time, rearing counts, zone-based measures, and more. All of your downstream analysis tools are accessible from within your BehaviorCloud account, available anywhere there's internet access. You can also invite colleagues to view or contribute to experiments.
