Mouse port with air line

Mahyar

Hi
Thanks for the great mouse port with air line.
Is this airline designed for olfactory experiments or is it for air puff?

If it is for air puff, do you think the current location of the airline is the best for aversive learning? And have you tested it?
I was just discussing this today with people and comparing different setups.
Most experience from people I talked to, tells the best location would be mostly toward the eyes, otherwise after a while it will not be aversive enough after several sessions.

Admittedly, the design has not been tested with air puff - though the files are open, so custom remixes (like repositioning a tube) are absolutely possible. I attached an image of one quick example, shifting the air line up and laterally.
