Video analysis and tracking methods have become increasingly important in behavioral neuroscience research. Although several tools have been highly developed for diverse use, most of the improvements have been made for tracking in 2D images. Timo Hueser and colleagues...
Modular LED Displays

Modular LED Displays

Visual stimuli are an effective way to study brain function and behavior in all animals. Specialized LED displays have become an increasingly popular tool in neuroscience experiments. However, commercial LEDs have primarily been designed and optimized for use in...

VAME: Variational Embedding of Animal Motion

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...
TRex

TRex

TRex is an open source animal tracking tool developed by Tristan Walker and Iain Couzin. In recent years, visual tracking of animal movement has become a valuable method for studying animal behavior. TRex seeks to improve upon current animal tracking softwares by...
AlphaTracker

AlphaTracker

Zexin Chen, Ruihan Zhang and colleagues have developed a tool called AlphaTracker which allows researchers to anaylyze the behavior of multiple animals via video analysis. This tool has been worked on in several labs, including but not limited to Shanghai Jiao Tong...
