The emergence of pose-estimation tools for animal studies has provided a means of accurately tracking postural dynamics and locomotion in freely behaving animals. However, translating pose-data to dynamic behavioral states remains a challenge. Kevin Luxem and...
Developed by Creed and Kravitz Labs at Washington University in St. Louis, Sippers is a 3D-printed, open-source device for behavioral analysis of measuring liquid ingestion in rodents. This is a great tool for neuroscientists in fields studying topics such as reward,...
Video analysis of freely-moving animals has become a staple of animal neuroscience research. During the last few years, different software packages for extracting vital information from video recordings of animal behavior have become available. Packages like...
Peter Petersen and team have published an article to Neuron detailing their innovative framework CellExplorer. This open-source technology aims to facilitate and standardize the classification of single neurons throughout various laboratories. Neuronal cell type...
The identification of behavioral states based on physiological measures such as EEG, EMG, and LFP is a non-trivial task and much needed for advancing research on topics such as sleep. Jacob Ellen and Michael Dash from Middlebury College created an automated neural...
