Density maps for Water Maze

Below is a density map for a series of trials, similar to that used by Nakazawa et al (Figure 5)*. The map indicates the total time spent in each portion (pixel) of the pool summed over all selected trials. Maps can be smoothed (here 4 adjacent pixels are averaged together in the display). The maps can be exported from WaterMaze as a JPEG or BMP images, or as tables of values. Any subset of trials can be selected from a project for display. The trials to be analyzed can be selected either individually (by clicking on a displayed list of trials), by animal, or by selecting those trials performed with the same target platform. Trials can be combined from multiple project files.
