Will Rats Also Work ? #1

Open sourcesync opened 5 years ago

sourcesync commented 5 years ago

Folks. I'm doing a study along the lines of what you have done.

Unfortunately, I've been having a lot of false starts getting access to folks who can do this kind of research with mice - but it looks like I may have access to someone who can do acoustic experiments with rats.

Do you believe that rats would also work in a study like yours ?

( BTW, I'm not a neuroscientist...so apologies for the naive question. )

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I've never worked with rats, but from what I understand they're quite a bit smarter than mice. Their audiogram is a bit lower as well so there should be less distortion from pitch shifting.

We cite a few similar experiments from Dr. Crystal T. Engineer in Michaek Kilgard's lab (eg. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4424170/) who do this work in rats.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, feel free to keep posting further questions :)

Cool ! This is super useful.

I may have ready access to a testing lab with rats...its been more difficult finding folks who can help me with "mice."

I'm basically going to reproduce your setup. I'll let you know how that goes. Thanks !

Hey, would you or someone in your lab be interested in speaking at a conference regarding your work ?

Its not a neuroscience conference, but rather cybersecurity. I can likely get all your expenses covered.

sneakers-the-rat commented 5 years ago

I'm interested, which conference?

sourcesync commented 5 years ago

It’s called BlackHat in Las Vegas, early August.

It would be cool to talk to have you discuss your work here, as part of a larger presentation on an application of neuroscience to threat detection.

If you are still interested, I might need some information from you for registration and stuff.

Shall we take the conversation to email ? Shoot me an email to gwilliams@gsitechnology.com...
