摘要:: 根据动物视觉学习认知研究的实际需求,设计了动物视觉学习认知自动训练评估系统,系统由监控子系统和控制子系统组成,监控子系统设定实验方案,控制刺激图像显示,实现对实验数据的实时存储和分析评估;控制子系统通过电容式触摸屏和红外传感器实时采集实验数据,驱动电磁阀进行投食犒赏或施加声光刺激惩罚.以LE大鼠为实验对象对该系统进行了测试.结果表明:所设计的系统能够实现动物基于视觉任务学习认知行为的自动训练和认知能力的自动评估,通讯可靠,控制准确,操作方便,通用性强.

Abstract:: According to the actual demands of animal visual cognition research，an automatic training and evaluating system wasdeveloped for animal visual cognition by the analysis of animals’behavior characteristics．The system consistedof the monitoring subsystem and the control subsystem．The monitoringsubsystem wasdesigned to setthe experimentalparameters，controlthevisual stimuli，store and analyze the real-timeexperimental data．Thecontrol subsystemwasconstructedto obtain animal experimental data viacapacitive touch screen and infraredsensor，and give a food reward to animals through an electromagnetic valve or a punishment with sound and light stimulations．The system wasexamined with LE rats’experiments．The results showed that the system could supplya great convenience for training of animals’cognitive behaviorand finish the evaluation of their cognitive abilityautomatically basedon specified visual tasks．Italso hasmany advanta— ges，such as reliable communication，high control accuracy，convenient operation and good generality．
