  • RAIL SYSTEM, AND APPARTUS AND METHOD FOR VIRTUAL BURROW ASSAY FOR A DIVERSITY OF NEUROLOGICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS
    Publication number: 20190261597
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for a virtual burrow assay for a diversity of neurological and psychiatric disorders. For example, a virtual burrow assay device including a virtual burrow (or enclosure), a linear actuator and one or more sensors is provided.
