Analysis of rodents' behavior/activity is of fundamental importance in many research fields. However, many behavioral experiments still rely on manual scoring, with obvious problems in reproducibility. Despite important advances in video-analysis sys...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial manipulation of animal movement could offer interesting advantages and potential applications using the animal's inherited superior sensation and mobility. Although several behavior control models have been introduced, they gene...
The discovery and development of new and potentially nonaddictive pain therapeutics requires rapid, yet clinically relevant assays of nociception in preclinical models. A reliable and scalable automated scoring system for nocifensive behavior of mice...
In addition to coding a subject's location in space, the hippocampus has been suggested to code social information, including the spatial position of conspecifics. "Social place cells" have been reported for tasks in which an observer mimics the beha...
The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important opportunity for advancing brain science. However, the problem of understa...

Primate long calls are high-amplitude vocalizations that can be critical in maintaining intragroup contact and intergroup spacing, and can encode abundant information about a call's producer, such as age, sex, and individual identity. Long calls of t...

Ground parrot vocalisation can be considered as an audio event. Test-based diverse density multiple instance learning (TB-DD-MIL) is proposed for detecting this event in audio files recorded in the field. The proposed method is motivated by the advan...
