Show abstract
Behavioral phenotyping devices have been successfully used to build ethograms, but studying the temporal dynamics of individual movements during spontaneous, ongoing behavior, remains a challenge. We now report on a novel device, the Phenotypix, which consists in an open-field platform resting on highly sensitive piezoelectric (electro-mechanical) pressure-sensors, with which we could detect the slightest movements from freely moving rats and mice. The combination with video recordings and signal analysis based on time-frequency decomposition, clustering and machine learning algorithms allowed to quantify various behavioral components with unprecedented accuracy, such as individual heartbeats and breathing cycles during rest, shaking in response to pain or fear, and the dynamics of balance within individual footsteps during spontaneous locomotion. We believe that this device represents a significant progress and offers new opportunities for the awaited advance of behavioral phenotyping.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
