Abstract
FED3 is a device for behavioral training of mice in vivarium home-cages. Mice interact with FED3 through two nose-pokes and FED3 responds with visual stimuli, auditory stimuli, and by dispensing pellets. As it is used in the home-cage FED3 can be used for around-the-clock training of mice over several weeks. FED3 is open-source and can be built by users for ~10-20x less than commercial solutions for training mice. The control code is also open-source and was designed to be easily modified by users.
