CalliCog

Open-source tools for automated behavioral training and testing, designed for the homecage environment.

CalliCog is an automated platform for behavioral experiments, designed for the homecage-based cognitive training of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) and other small nonhuman primates. It delivers behavioral tasks via touchscreens in custom-built operant chambers made from inexpensive and publicly available materials. CalliCog runs on open-source code based in Python, and includes a custom webapp for running experiments and recording behavioral data.

CalliCog is published online as a preprint. Click here to see the publication .

CalliCog code is open-source. See the GitHub page  for more.
