Tracking animal behavior can require hours of manpower and resources. Unique and powerful solutions are becoming a reality with the help of open-source technology. One such solution coming from the Ribeiro lab is D-Track. This remarkably intuitive dolphin tracker uses...
Researchers from the Mathis Group & Mathis Lab at EPFL/Harvard have collaboratively developed DeepLabCut, an open source software package for markerless pose estimation. This software features a robust and fast algorithm for transfer learning with deep neural...
“Plottin on the mouse trap /About to snatch the cheese” This is a lyric written by Method Man, a member of the Wu Tang Clan and possible mouse enthusiast. However, the everyday hip-hop enjoyer must ask themself one essential question: how can one ensure that Method...
Dartmouth College doctoral candidate Jin Hyun Cheong and colleagues developed an open-source device and Python toolbox for recording and synchronizing facial expressions in response to videos or events. Facial expressions are an invaluable measure of what emotions an...
Semih Günel and colleagues have created a deep learning-based pose estimator for studying how neural circuits control limbed behaviors in tethered Drosophila. Appendage tracking is an important behavioral measure in motor circuit research. Up until now, algorithms for...
