EthoVision XT R2 contains everything already offered in EthoVision XT, but complements the functionality with:

• More accurate tracking
  The new tracking technology increases the accuracy of detecting the rodent's nose and tail base point.
• Correction for small body movements
  Small movements that are not necessarily related to locomotion are filtered out.
• More thorough automation of experiments
  The option to start and stop tracking automatically at stated times of the day or when conditions based on the behavior of the animal are met ensure that your data is standardized to the highest possible level.
• More detailed behavioral analysis since new parameters can be measured
  The parameters head direction to zone, heading to point, rotations, and zone transitions are particularly beneficial for those performing exploration and searching paradigms, such as the novel object recognition test, the water maze, and the radial arm maze.
• Easier definition of experiment settings
  The ease and accuracy of defining the video region in which an animal will be tracked and description of the specifics of trials are highly improved.

These are only a few examples of what EthoVision XT R2 has to offer you. To learn about all  its benefits download the product leaflet or take a look at the comparison table.
