OpenBehavior

This summer, we're working on documenting setups and protocols for using popular tools such as SLEAP, Bonsai, & ArUco marker tracking. You can read about our plans in this week's post and stay tuned for updates over the summer! #OpenScience #Neuroscience edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/2…

Wrapping up our behavior measurement series! This week: open-source tools for head-fixed setups. From running wheels to imaging platforms, explore the possibilities and expand your research capabilities! #OpenSource #Neuroscience edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/2…

Getting advanced video analysis tools like SLEAP, DeepEthogram, and A-SOID to work can be tricky! Our team figured out some key steps and fixes. Check out our detailed setup guide: edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/2… #OpenScience #Neuroscience
