I came across this recently developed **free** , **open source** software for analyzing and scoring animal behaviors. I’m really impressed so far. It has a simple interface but a lot of useful features that most of us would use for most mouse/rat nociceptive behavior assays. The development looks very active and there is excellent documentation.

Check it out. I think you’ll find this useful.
