For my experiment I was set to make program that can trigger swimming behaviour in an head-fixed adult zebrafish. This kind of behaviour can be triggered by presenting a moving grating. To do so I made simple animation for different kind of moving grating that can trigger the swimming in upward, downward, left, right, forward and backward direction in Blender. The with a simple labview program I can read the frames and have control over the frame-rate.

This simple setup can be expanded for recording various data which in my case was recording swimming direction with a help of a torque and force sensor (this acquisition part is not included).

Hopefully this simple program can be helpful to researchers around the world.
