Tony Fong and colleagues recently published their project, PyMouseTracks (PMT). PMT is an open source, scalable and customizable system for tracking and behavior assessment, available now on GitHub. PyMouseTracks is an open source, adaptable tracking system for...
Gergely Tarcsay and colleagues developed a design for a multianimal chronic local field potential monitoring platform. Data are synchronized and parsed in Bonsai, allowing for flexibility and scalability of up to 128 channels per animal. The use of an Intan adapter...
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...
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...
