The ANY-maze dongle allows you to share an ANY-maze licence between multiple computers. You can only track animals in the computer that has the dongle connected, but it can still be a great way to simplify running tests in different rooms. This guide explains how to use a dongle and the benefits (and limitations) that it provides.

From version 7 onward ANY-maze will only be available as a 64-bit program; it will no longer work with Windows XP or Vista and various hardware devices will no longer be supported. This guide details these changes and suggests actions to take if they affect you.

The ANY-maze Optogenetic interface is designed to independently control up to four optogenetic lasers during behavioural tests performed with ANY-maze.

ANY-maze can report literally hundreds of different results. This guide lists them by category so you can quickly see whether results you are interested in are available.

ANY-maze includes more than 25 different statistical tests which it can use to analyse your data. As the system already knows certain things about the variables to analyse, such as whether they represent nominal data, whether there are repeated measures etc., it is able to choose an appropriate parametric or non-parametric test for itself.

ANY-maze has the ability to run test in multiple apparatus at the same time, which can dramatically increase throughput in large experiments. In this guide we’ll walk through the steps required to successfully set-up a multiple apparatus protocol and learn about some of the common pitfalls to avoid.
