One of the major issues in modeling neuronal correlates of behavior is the vastly different protocols and data analysis methods between labs. Coralie-Anne Mosser and colleagues, however, have found a solution to this problem with their novel device, the...
In behavioral neuroscience, analyzing animal behavior is a key component to many experiments, but relying on manually scoring behaviors pose issues in reproducibility. In resolution, most have turned to computerized video-analysis systems that combine 2D images with...
Yorman K. Kunkels and colleagues from the University Medical Center Groningen’s Department of Psychiatry have recently introduced a novel software library, Actigraphy Manager (ACTman), to the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport (JSAMS). ACTman is an automated...
Rupert Overall has generously shared information about two R packages for the analysis of animal tracking data. Analysis of spatial exploration data from rodents in various behavioral tests can reveal complex strategies for solving mazes and memory tasks. However,...
Jumpei Matsumoto from the University of Toyama has shared the following about his open-source system, USVCAM, for measuring ultrasound communication in rodents: “Mice frequently use ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during social interaction. USV...
