nVision Behavior Acquisition System

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate and award a contract without providing for full and open competition to Bruker Nano, Inc. for the purchase of an nVision Behavior Acquisition System. The system will provide synchronized behavioral video acquisition during calcium imaging experiments, allowing simultaneous recording of animal behavior and neural activity. This capability is essential for correlating neural circuit dynamics with behavioral outcomes in ongoing research studies. • The system will be used by the Holmes Laboratory at the Fishers Lane Animal Center. • The laboratory conducts neuroscience research focused on understanding the neural basis of cognitive and emotional regulation through calcium imaging experiments in freely behaving rodents. • The requested nVision system will provide synchronized behavioral video acquisition during calcium imaging experiments. • Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice.
