This paper describes a one-board microcomputer system for the experimental study of animal physiological psychology. The system consists of three interconnected one-board microcomputers, I/O devices, interfaces for experimental apparatus, and an acoustic coupler. One of the three one-board microcomputers is Intel SDK-85 which has 8 bit CPU. The other two are Hitachi H680 TRs which have 16 bit CPUs. Each of these microcomputers is assigned to its specialized sub-function of this system, and they operate concurrently. This is a low-cost optimized system. The system is used both for the control of experiment and the acquisition and primary processing of experimental data, and for the on-line communication with the computer centers through the acoustic coupler and the switched line; higher processing of data, software development, literature search, model development, etc. This system is low-cost, understandable, amenable to maintenance, expansible, and easy to connect with experimental apparatus.
