DANNCE

DANNCE

DANNCE is a direct method for 3D markerless pose estimation and tracking developed by Timothy Dunn, Jesse Marshall, and colleagues in Bence Ölveczky’s lab. It works on recorded video data from multiple cameras. The key innovation in this method is to use geometrical...
LiftPose3D

LiftPose3D

Several methods for tracking behavior in three dimensions have emerged in recent years. Two related packages are DeepFly3D (Gunel et al., 2019) and LiftPose3D (Gosztolai et al., 2021). They were developed by a research group headed by Pavan Ramdya in the...
Anipose

Anipose

AniPose is a software toolkit for 3D pose estimation developed by Pierre Karashchuk and colleagues in the group of John Tuthill and in collaboration with Bing Brunton. The package uses DeepLabCut for 2D tracking and uses triangulation methods to project pose...
Rtrack and ColonyTrack

Rtrack and ColonyTrack

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,...
pyPhotometry

pyPhotometry

pyPhotometry is an open source system for fiber photometry. The project includes hardware and software. The pyPhotometry acquisition board uses a Micropython microcontroller. It is capable of acquiring data from two digital and two analog inputs and generates analog...
