Can I get certain dependent measures (e.g., "distance moved") by zone in EthoVision XT?
It's possible to calculate any dependent variable in your Analysis Profile by zone(s). For example, you can get the “Distance Moved” within each quadrant zone in a Morris Water Maze study.
Why is the sum/total of the cumulative time for all of my zones greater than the trial time?
Time in the zones may not add up to the trial duration if the subject was not tracked for the entire trial, if zones overlap or do not cover the entire arena, or if the zone exit threshold is used.
What are the filter settings in Trackab?
