Innovative Products, Innovative Research Clever Sys is a bioinformatics company specializing in automated behavioral testing, including data collection and analysis. Clever Sys. brings behavioral testing into the twenty-first century, combining video tracking with patented behavior recognition technology to study behavior in animals as complex as humans and as simple as fruit flies. The first generation of automated behavioral testing relied on imprecise photobeams to detect large movements. Second-generation video tracking improved resolution and detection, but reduced the subject to a single point in space and lacked the ability to differentiate individual behaviors. Clever Sys. software introduces the third generation of behavioral testing, with video tracking so refined that it detects not only animal motion, but individual behaviors. Our software tracks not only the body of the animal, but also the head, tail, and individual limbs. Therefore, we are able to measure body orientation (important for sniffing behaviors in novel object tasks ), small movements (providing greater sensitivity for fear conditioning ), and independent limb movements (for gait analysis and behaviors such as eating or grooming ). Clever Sys products provide measurements of ethograms that no automated systems could previously accommodate. Our behavioral tracking systems can be integrated with bio-feedback measurements, such as electroencephalograms, neuron-firing signals, body temperature, electrocardiograms, and ultrasonic vocalization signals, allowing in-depth analysis of behavior and physiology. Thus, Clever Sys. products represent some of the most advanced testing systems available in neuroscience today. About Our Company Located in Reston, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C., and along the Northern Virginia technology corridor, Clever Sys., Inc. (CSI ) is a small bioinformatics company specializing in third-generation video tracking software for behavioral research. Their patented behavioral recognition algorithm has been implemented in a variety of programs, which can be used in many different experimental situations. Since 1999, CSI has been pushing the boundaries of video tracking technology to provide cutting-edge, user-friendly animal monitoring systems to behavioral researchers. CSI develops and markets products and services for animal and human behavior analysis. The applications of behavior recognition are broad, and CSI's customers include biotech and medical researchers (government, academic, and private ); pharmaceutical companies; law enforcement, military, and homeland security offices; athletic trainers; and medical patient care centers. CSI has been the recipient of several federal R&D grants, and has collaborated with several outside groups, including labs at Princeton University and the University of California at San Diego, to develop and improve their products.
