#JobPosting for a full-time OPS Laboratory Technician. This position will mainly support two projects, both of which evaluate the effect of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation on speech in noise perception. Please share! For more details, please see bit.ly/4jdiEjs

There's a great new article out today from the Pancrazio Lab at UT-Dallas looking at techniques for a somatosensory brain-machine interface! They've got a really cool behavioral paradigm based around a Vulintus OmniTrak system that they added their own customizations to.

During the current, let’s say, slowdown of biomedical research, Vulintus’ engineers and technicians have found themselves without nearly as many research systems to build. To keep our skills and tools sharp, we’re launching a new off-shoot small-scale manufacturing service called Protonaut Design!

There's a great new article out this week from Bob Spencer’s Lab at the University of Colorado, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, and Vulintus got to help with it! Long story short: laboratory rats and mice can see and are sensitive to all of the red light that humans can see.

Just wrapped up new updates for our spherical treadmill-walking recording software including real-time displays of the 3D ball rotation and the animal's recent path and orientation. Think your mouse might be doing the Electric Slide while you're not looking? #SphericalTreadmill #Ambulation

Our first new product for 2025: the OmniTrak Social Choice Module! This module can be combined with any of our other OmniTrak system components to create behavioral tasks measuring social behaviors. Whatever you're thinking of, we can help you build it! #SocialChoice #SocialBehavior

What we're working on this week: Vulintus pellet dispensers have been reliably whirring away in labs worldwide, unchanged for 10+ years, and it’s time for an upgrade. New features on our redesign for 2025: an OLED display to show feeding counts, quieter motor movements, USB connectivity, and more!

Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID. #AcademicSky

Come see us at SfN 2024 exhibitor booth 118 today and pick up one of our new not-boring business cards! Let's talk about all the animal behavior testing that's taking up too much of your time! #sfn2024

Come visit us at exhibitor booth 118 tomorrow! #sfn2024

New year, new social media platform to try out! If you don't already know us, Vulintus creates innovative tools to reduce the cost of preclinical behavior research for biomedical investigators working toward the public good.
