Run the entire system from your laptop or PC using a standard USB port

Deploy continuous testing with independent station starts

Choose an array of cues including non-heating LED house lights, user selectable auditory stimuli, and quiet auto door

Easy to Use

GEMINI’s unique design allows you to run up to 8 independently operated stations directly from your laptop using a standard USB. In addition, by allowing you to define a complete study in advance, GEMINI eliminates run time data entry that could affect the accuracy of your results.

Scrambled Shock Provides More Accurate Responses

The GEMINI animal shocker – a solid state feedback-controlled, constant current shocker uses 8 unique outputs to scramble the shock across the grid floor. Scrambling the shock prevents the animal from determining a pattern and leads to more accurate responses.

Kinder, Gentler, Unconditioned Stimulus

The Gemini System offers an alternative air puff unconditioned stimulus. This is a kinder and gentler unconditioned stimulus.
