LabGym
LabGym quantifies animal behavior by representing motion as pattern images and animation and analyzing them with customizable deep neural networks to identify behaviors and compute quantitative measurements.
Key Features:
- Pattern Image and Animation Representation: Represents animal motion using pattern images to capture motion patterns and animation to preserve spatiotemporal details.
- Customizable Deep Neural Networks: Applies customizable deep neural networks that jointly assess pattern images and animation for behavior identification.
- Quantitative Measurements: Calculates quantitative measurements for each identified behavior.
- Multi-Animal Experiment Applicability: Processes experiments involving multiple animals simultaneously.
- Visualization Capabilities: Produces visualizations of behavioral datasets.
Scientific Applications:
- Behavioral Research: Captures subtle changes in behavior across diverse animal species for detailed analysis.
- Holistic Assessment: Integrates pattern images and animation to enable comprehensive behavioral assessment beyond pose-based methods.
Methodology:
Represents animal motion as pattern images and animation and analyzes these representations with customizable deep neural networks to identify behaviors and compute quantitative measurements.
