This guide explains how to set up a standard Three-Chamber Sociability and Social Novelty experiment in ANY-maze, including how to draw the apparatus map to include the cups, how to use moveable zones to counterbalance the cups, how to use Procedures to automatically assign cup positions, and how to view the results of the tests.

Part one of this two-part guide explains how to set up a standard Novel Object Recognition experiment in ANY-maze, including how to draw the apparatus map to include the objects, how to use moveable zones to counterbalance the objects, and how to view the results of the tests.

Part 2 of this guide describes how to automatically assign the novel object’s shape and position between animals, how to label the objects for testing, and how to calculate the discrimination index.

ANY-maze records an animal’s movement as XY coordinates for each frame, generating data like Distance traveled and Average speed. For external analysis, raw coordinates and test events can be exported in a “Test data report.” This guide explains how to customize, export, and interpret the report.
