There are a number of video-based behavior tracking packages available these days, including several that include methods for pose estimation. Such methods are incredibly powerful for many questions in behavioral neuroscience; however, sometimes a clean, simplified,...
Glen Beane and colleagues from the Kumar Lab at the Jackson Laboratory have developed JABS (JAX Animal Behavior System), an integrated hardware and software system with the purpose of building shared resources for mouse behavior analysis. The Python-based platform...
Mafalda Valente and colleagues have developed Ratphones, a tool that can be used to deliver precise auditory stimuli to freely moving rats. Ratphones are a miniature set of headphones that allow experimenters high control over sound presentation in order to...
The Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the University of Calgary published their design for an integrative running wheel system in eNeuro, available on GitHub. Stephanie Borgland and colleagues designed an economical and versatile open source running wheel system, validated...
Advancements in machine learning methods for video analysis have been a crucial development for understanding the neural underpinnings of freely-moving behaviors. Many of these methods emphasize pose estimation and tracking, but options for classifying specific...
