Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring and controlling activities oforganisms are provided. In one aspect, a method includes acquiring, using a first activity detector, imaging data tracking movements of theorganisms, and acquiring, using a second activity detector, bioluminescence data corresponding to a neural activity of theorganisms. The method also includes correlating, using the acquired data, a behavioral activity and neural activity of theorganisms, and determining, using the correlation, an activity profile for theorganisms. The method further includes providing, based on the activity profile, a stimulation to theorganisms to control at least one of the behavior activity or the neural activity over a time period extendible to a nominal life cycle of theorganisms.
