Setting up treatment groups and animals
Introduction
In most behavioural experiments the animals being tested are organised into different groups, usually based on the treatments they'll receive. As this type of arrangement is so common, ANY-maze uses it as the default basis for all experiments.
| • | Entering treatment groups |
| • | Treatment group coding |
| • | Assigning animals to the treatment groups |
| • | Unassigned animals |
| • | Editing and deleting treatment groups |
However, animals don't have to be organised into treatment groups:
| • | Choosing not to use treatment groups |
| • | Adding animals to an experiment which doesn't use treatment groups |
You also have the option of importing animals (and tests) from some other system, for example Excel. This can be very helpful if you already have this information in another program, as it avoids having to re-enter everything in ANY-maze. In this case you can still choose whether or not to place animals into treatment groups and you also have the option to import data and then add to it; for example, you could import a list of animals and then place them into treatment groups once they're in ANY-maze.
