Yes - I've searched the threads, and I have found nothing related. I am a scientist who studies behavior - mostly using rats. Much of my research involves variations on Pavlovian conditioning - I present stimuli to the rats, then either present food or not, and I monitor the rats' responses to the stimuli. There is much more to it than that, but at a surface level that is what's going on.
Rats tend to approach and interact with stimuli that predict food. An N800, mounted in the wall of an experimental chamber, might make a great panel for both the presentation of visual stimuli, and the recording of the rat's response. I can easily envision a script that presents images (perhaps different images on each half of the screen) and tracks the rat's contact with the screen, _if_ the touchscreen is sensitive enough. Does anyone know if the N800 (or any of the other NITs) has ever been used in this manner? Of course once I have the proper screen protector and the willingness to risk my N800 I can try this myself, but I would prefer to know about others' success (or failure) before I try.
How about it? Has anyone used these touchscreens with rats or other nonhuman animals?
Thanks in advance!
