Capturing Somatosensory Behaviour
Somatosensation is the body's ability to perceive sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints, including touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. As part of my PhD research, I developed a novel technology to capture somatosensory-driven behaviours in mice as they move freely through their environment.
This project highlights selected illustrations and data visualisations I designed to showcase the technology and to quantify the exploratory behaviour of mice.
