CPD is required and must be greater than zero. Optional measurements must also be positive. In Notes, describe the method, animal stage, conditions, and whether acuity was measured or estimated.

How to cite us

Best Practices for Citing VPOD

Users should cite the VPOD and/or OPTICS paper.
Users must cite the specific version of VPOD/OPTICS used (note that the current version is v1.3).
If OPTICS was used, users must state the specific model used and whether the results were obtained using the bootstrapping option.
