To optimize the training of awake NHPs on cognitive tasks Thomas RECORDING has developed commercially available InCage Training System (ICTS) and InSeat Trinign System (ISTS) for non human primate training. The ICTS is a flexible, light-weight, fully-automatic device for the training of behavioral and cognitive paradigms and enrichment of NHPs in their home cages instead of the classic primate chair restraint training environment. The new training system provides a comfortable training environment that reduces stress, improves the animal´s well-being, increases the speed of training and the animal´s performance. This training system is also available as InSeat Trainign System for trining NHPs while tey are sitting in a primate chair.
