Devices & Methods

USVCAM is an acoustic camera system for localization and assignment of ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) for interacting laboratory rodents. Thanks to its design utilizing a small phased microphone array combined with a camera, USVCAM has many advantages over the previous systems using a distributed microphone array.
