BEATBox is designed for long-duration behavioral neuroscience experiments where short, experimenter-driven sessions are a limitation.
- Preserve natural rhythms through autonomous task engagement.
- Reduce repeated handling and session-boundary artifacts.
- Increase within-subject data density across days and weeks.
- Support reproducible, open-source builds across laboratories.
- Keep the platform modular enough for different behavioral paradigms.
BEATBox is a working open-source platform with real builds, module-level assembly references, and an interactive SOP. Some details remain under active validation, including final cost benchmarks, optimal cable lengths, tracking wall color, long-term reliability, and complete protocol templates.
