The invention discloses a
living body spontaneous activity quantitative detection device which comprises a box body structure with an upper layer and a lower layer, wherein the upper layer is a sensor layer which comprises
infrared geminate transistors arranged in a 16*8 matrix, spacing between every two adjacent
infrared geminate transistors is 3cm,
infrared ray transmitting tubes and infrared
ray receiving tubes of the infrared geminate transistors are arranged in parallel, a transparent plate is arranged above the infrared geminate transistors, the lower layer is a control plate layer which comprises a scanning circuit and a
control circuit, the scanning circuit and the
control circuit are electronically connected, the scanning circuit comprises 18 pieces of CD4051, the
control circuit mainly comprises an ATMEGA16 processor
chip, the infrared geminate transistors is connected with the scanning circuit through a
transmission line, and the control circuit is connected with a display module outside the box body structure. The invention further discloses a detection method with the device used. According to the method, automatic detection of the whole process of the activity of a mouse can be achieved comprehensively and accurately with a simple method, accurate reflection and continuous detection of the process of the activity of the mouse are achieved, and accurate quantitative description of activity in two-dimensional space is achieved.
