Ray Shen, a student at the University of Maryland, developed the program as part of summer research with the OB team. You can access his code here:.

Real-time ArUco tracking is available in Bonsai but has some limitations. The OB team developed a Python/OpenCV program for robust offline analysis, that provides full position and rotation information. Read about it in this week's post: . #Neuroscience

Thomas Akam (U Oxford) developed an active commutator that auto-rotates to prevent twisting of cables for neural recordings from freely moving subjects. Read about it in this week's post on OpenBehavior. #Electrophysiology #OpenScience #Neuroscience.

Design files for the Arduino counter are available on the Laubach Lab's GitHub at
