Improving biomedical research by automated behaviour monitoring in the animal home-cage
See you soon in beautiful Helsinki! #conference #COSTAction #homecage #animalresearch
Join us on September 3rd for Day 2 of the TEATIME Final Conference, featuring expert talks on home-cage monitoring technologies, case studies, a roundtable on the future of automated monitoring, a closing keynote, and a farewell networking reception. #animalresearch #homecage

Calopy, a new open-source, browser-based tool for intuitive and comprehensive indirect #calorimetry data analysis, is now published in Nature Metabolism — try it at calopy.app! nature.com/articles/s4225… @Nature @COSTprogramme

Thank you to all the participants and experts who joined us last week in Bratislava for our training school on animal behavioural research and home-cage monitoring — it was a fantastic event full of learning, sharing, and collaboration!

🤝 Meet the Expert Break — an inspiring opportunity at our Training school to exchange ideas, build collaborations, and shape the future of home-cage monitoring with leaders in the field! #animalresearch #homecage #training #behavior #DataScience @COSTprogramme



Day 1 of the TEATIME Training School kicked off with inspiring talks on experimental design, home-cage monitoring, and DeepLabCut, alongside expert meetups and student presentations—highlighting the power of science, networking, and collaboration. #animalresearch #homecage




Everything set for our 4th training school! #animalresearch #homecage #mouse #experimentaldesign #training #Bratislava
At our training school, @OttoKalliokoski will lead an interactive session exploring how our experimental choices shape the outcomes of the "game of science"—can you uncover the truth? #ScienceCommunication #ExperimentalDesign #ScientificIntegrity #TrainingSchool #Research

At our upcoming training school, Giorgio Rosati will present the scalable Digital Ventilated Cage (DVC) system—enabling continuous, non-invasive home-cage monitoring with minimal data footprint and high scientific impact. #HomeCage #DVCsystem #LabAnimalScience #AnimalWelfare

The TEATIME Training School has officially kicked off with a warm welcome from Veronika Borbélyová at the Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University in Bratislava. #TrainingSchool #Bratislava #LabAnimalScience #HomeCageMonitoring #Networking #ScienceCommunity @COSTprogramme


This week at the TEATIME Training School, @OrenForkosh will explore how curiosity-driven engineering turns empty racks into fully automated home-cage behavioural observatories. #HomeCageMonitoring #BehaviouralScience #Neuroscience #LabAutomation #AnimalResearch @COSTprogramme

This week at the TEATIME Training School, Alice Melloni and @NunoHFranco will lead a session on experimental design and data quality control. #AnimalResearch #ExperimentalDesign #DataQuality #LabAnimalScience @COSTprogramme

Join us on June 18th (Training school) for Michael Tsoory lectures exploring traditional vs. home-cage-based behavioral assays in mouse models of mental disorders—through the lens of validity, reliability, and animal welfare. #animalresearch #homecage #InMice @COSTprogramme

Next week at the Training School, Silvia Mandillo will lecture on assessing motor function in mouse models—covering standard tests, home-cage monitoring, case studies, and the impact of sex and welfare on results. #MouseModels #BehavioralNeuroscience @COSTprogramme

Also in Bratislava, Daniela Domingues will teach how to use DeepLabCut’s deep learning tools for accurate, automated animal pose estimation and behavioral analysis through its user-friendly GUI. #DeepLabCut #BehavioralResearch #MachineLearning #Neuroscience #OpenScience

At the Bratislava Training School, @NunoHFranco will teach key principles of #experimentaldesign—such as randomization, blinding, sample size, and bias control—to help ensure that #animalresearch is reliable, #reproducible, and aligned with the #3Rs. @COSTprogramme #training

Meet our expert speakers at the Second TEATIME Beginners Training School, where they will share insights on using home-cage technologies to monitor rodent behavior and physiology. #animalresearch #behavior #training
