Check out some of our most recent posts!<\/p><\/div><\/div> CaImAn Hot off the presses in eLife, Andrea Giovannucci and colleagues have shared their open-source software library, CaImAn, for one and two-photon Calcium Imaging data Analysis.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Dual-port Lick Detector In the Journal of Neurophysiology, Brice Williams and colleagues have\u00a0 shared their design for a novel dual-port lick detector. This device can be used for both real-time measurement and manipulation of licking behavior in head-fixed mice.<\/p><\/div><\/div> DeepSqueak Kevin Coffey has shared the following about DeepSqueak, a deep learning-based system for detection and analysis of ultrasonic vocalizations, which he developed with Russell Marx.<\/p><\/div><\/div> Live Mouse Tracker In a recent preprint, Fabrice de Chaumont and colleagues share Live Mouse Tracker, a real-time behavioral analysis system for groups of mice.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Alexxai Kravitz<\/a>, Professor, Washington University in St. Louis<\/p> Mark Laubach<\/a>, Professor, American University<\/p> Samantha White<\/a>, Neuroscience PhD Student, American University<\/p> Linda Amarante<\/a>, Neuroscience PhD Student, American University<\/p> Meagan Mitchell, Undergraduate Neuroscience Major, American University<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Without them, our site would not have been possible!
