This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Behavioral Testing Facility was created three years ago to facilitate the development of neuroscience research at the Universidad Central del Caribe. Currently, the importance of behavioral testing is being recognized by investigators with other research interests. Based on these needs, the main goal in this proposal is to provide experimental support to the projects developed by a diverse group of scientists. The facility has two mayor components: A) the equipment infrastructure and B) the technical support division. This proposal plans to develop this facility by incorporating two consultants and expanding the experimental setup offerings with new equipment for remote behavior visualization (RBV).The specific aims proposed during the present period are: A: To improve the existing equipment and the environment necessary for new and ongoing experiments..B: To continue training the technicians and users in methods, equipment, experimental protocols and software commonly used in behavioral experiments.C. To encourage collaborative research at UCC, and with other local Universities. D: To facilitate the development of on-line experiments using internet-2 capabilities.As proposed the scheme will impact not only researchers at UCC but also those at other local universities who have shown interest in the use of this facility. The development of the BTF will facilitate and reinforce the research and collaborations of UCC investigators.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 行为测试设施于三年前创建，旨在促进加勒比中央大学神经科学研究的发展。目前，其他研究兴趣的研究人员正在认识到行为测试的重要性。基于这些需求，该提案的主要目标是为不同科学家群体开发的项目提供实验支持。该设施有两个主要组成部分：A) 设备基础设施和 B) 技术支持部门。该提案计划通过引入两名顾问来开发该设施，并使用用于远程行为可视化（RBV）的新设备来扩展实验设置产品。当前提出的具体目标是： A：改善现有设备和必要的环境新的和正在进行的实验..B：继续对技术人员和用户进行行为实验常用的方法、设备、实验方案和软件的培训。鼓励 UCC 以及与其他当地大学的合作研究。 D：为了利用 internet-2 功能促进在线实验的发展。正如提议的那样，该计划不仅会影响 UCC 的研究人员，还会影响其他本地大学对使用该设施感兴趣的研究人员。 BTF 的发展将促进和加强 UCC 研究人员的研究与合作。
