Phobos is to be used for recording rodents' behavior during the thigmotaxis (open-field) and the elevated plus-maze tests. Phobos provides the possibility to easily calculate all possible experimental parameters at once immediately after the evaluation of the fear/anxiety level of each animal. All extracted files can be readily combined to one in order for statistical analyses to be performed.
