Automated Nociception Analyzer/Flinch Monitor
Several UC San Diego scientists have prepared a device that records actual occurrence of movement of the affected paw. The device records these movements automatically and there need not be constant observation. More subjects can be observed simultaneously by the use of this device. The amount of labor required is decreased and the variability found between individual observers is eliminated.
