The DoubleDisk TFT: a new star is born!

Phenosys’ state of the art VR systems are designed for pioneering research into animal behavior under dynamic & flexible conditions. Our systems allow the animal to navigate & perform behavioral tasks in the virtual world, while researchers analyze their brain activity using optogenetic, electrophysiological, or in-vivo imaging methods.

Expanding our Virtual Reality Offering

We are proud to introduce the DoubleDisk Treadmill, expanding our VR treadmill family. The DoubleDisk combines the exploration flexibility of a spherical treadmill in the virtual world, and the running stability of a linear treadmill. It also enhances the precision of the experiment with full control over execution and real-time adjustments based on the animal’s response.

Settings & Possible Customizations

• Broad range of visual, auditory and olfactory stimuli available.
• Liquid reward & negative reinforcement settings to reinforce preferred behavior.
• Obstacle stimulus & air-puff settings for whisker simulation for an immersive experience in the virtual world.
• Brakes to stop movement of the disk, as a trigger to gain control of the animal’s behavior.
• Zero-point sensor for synchronization, used to determine the degree of disk rotation.
• Alternative VR display ‘DoubleDisk Dome’ (mirror projection) mode for enhanced experience.
• Extensive software customizations with settings like ‘run and replay’ available.
