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,...
Shikin Hou and Elizabeth J. Glover have developed and shared Pi USB Cam, a system for high-throughput video capture. In their recent eNeuro publication, they provide beautifully detailed documentation for setting up the Pi USB Cam system, rendering this project very...
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...
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...
Video analysis of freely-moving animals has become a staple of animal neuroscience research. During the last few years, different software packages for extracting vital information from video recordings of animal behavior have become available. Packages like...
