The following projects are associated with ISyN:
IntelliPy
Python GUI for analyzing IntelliCage data
The IntelliCage system helps researchers to conduct behavioral experiments and learning experiments with mice while ensuring minimal human intervention. The animals can be observed for long time periods – up to several weeks. This long-term data acquisition can provide new insights in mouse behavior, that might not be detectable in short-term observations.
However, analyzing those big amounts of data is challenging for many researchers.
IntelliPy aims to simplify and automize many aspects of the analysis, such as acquiring data per group, creating learning curves or pivoting parameters in different timeframes. All plots are automatically created and the final tables for statistical tests are stored separately for the user.

StaAv – Stack Averaging Tool
An ImageJ Plugin that can be used to mark and copy frames from an image stack to a new stack to create an average image with enhanced cell visibility from the new stack. This Plugin can be used either by manually selecting only the frames with cell activity, by automatically marking a frame for every half of the calcium indicator decay time or both.
