Some issues with UAS-TNT control

on Monday, April 20th, 2020 1:57 | by

I experienced some issues with the first batch of the UAS-TNT control flies, theyh ad a very low learning curve. The second batched looked fine but the still have a slightly lower learning PI during Test1 than I want.

New problems with the set-up

The measuring device needed repairing, after aperently some glued part got loosloosened and produced no signal anymore. The divice is now producing a signal again, but it is shifted.

The direction of the fly seems to be the main thing. Same fly faceing to the laser (left) and away (right)

Mean or median?

A highly hypothetical scenario of how the distribution of dwelling times could be. Even if unrealistic, it still illustrates the problem of using median instead of mean.

Plotting the dwelling times as means

An example fly of how the dwelling times are distributed over the different periods.

Summary of the self-learning experiments with Wtb. The laser was adjusted for the later trails. This is resulting now in a better avoidanc in training (orange bars).

First test of the conditionla FoxP hs with the heat applyed as adult.

Testing of set-up

The focus of the laser was changed, resutling in a better avoidance.
