Behavioral analysis can provide a lot of information about the health status or motivations of a living being. A new technology developed at EPFL makes it possible for a single deep learning model to ...

Recent advances in accelerometry have transformed the field of animal ecology by enabling the continuous monitoring of fine-scale movement and behaviour in free-ranging species. Accelerometers, often ...

Pattern images merge outlines of an organism’s position at different timepoints to depict movement, providing a still image that increases LabGym’s accuracy in recognizing behavior types. Shown are ...

A new special issue in Acta Ethologica explores the diverse ways animals think, learn, and interact, revealing 'intellectual ...

Ordinarily, when studying the behavior of animals, scientists have to watch many hours of video footage of the creatures going about their daily lives. That may soon no longer be necessary, however, ...

Biomechanical interactions, rather than neurons, control the movements of one of the simplest animals. The discovery offers a glimpse into how animal behavior worked before neurons evolved. The ...
