Overview

Open-BEATBox is designed for long-duration behavioral neuroscience experiments where short, experimenter-driven sessions are a limitation.

Goals

  • Preserve natural rhythms through autonomous task engagement.
  • Reduce repeated handling and session-boundary artifacts.
  • Increase within-subject data density across days and weeks.
  • Support reproducible, open-source builds across laboratories.
  • Keep the platform modular enough for different behavioral paradigms.

Current status

Open-BEATBox is a working open-source platform with real builds and module-level assembly tutorials in this Sphinx manual. Some details remain under active validation, including final cost benchmarks, optimal cable lengths, tracking wall color, long-term reliability, and complete protocol templates.
