啮齿动物的拂动行为提供了主动触摸作为输入到一个广泛研究的模型系统的信息处理和行为。我们以前开发了一个简单的光电系统，监测胡须运动在“真实的时间”在头部举行的大鼠在休息或执行各种任务，如触觉歧视。我们现在描述一种简单的压电膜装置，用于在搅拌期间也真实的检测初始晶须接触。在某些应用中，这与高速视频一样有效，并且可以配置为将触点与不同的晶须隔离。详细介绍了这种简单装置的结构。除了在记录清醒动物的过程中提供信息外，该设备还可以用作例如操作性操纵器，用于用胡须进行物体检测的偶然加强。
Rodent whisking behavior provides active touch as input into a widely studied model system of information processing and behavior. We previously developed a simple optoelectronic system to monitor whisker movements in “real time” in head held rats at rest or performing various tasks such as tactile discrimination. We now describe a simple piezioelectic film device for detecting initial whisker contacts during whisking also in real time. In some applications this is as effective as high-speed videos and can be configured to isolate the contacts from different whiskers. The construction of this simple device is detailed. In addition to providing information during recordings from awake animals, the device could be used, for example, as an operant manipulandum for contingent reinforcement of object detection with a whisker.
