Show abstract
In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, connectome data and genetic tools provide a unique opportunity to study complex behaviors including navigation, mating, aggression, and grooming in an organism with a tractable nervous system of 140,000 neurons. Here we present the Fly Disco, a flexible system for high quality video collection, optogenetic manipulation, and fine-grained behavioral analysis of freely walking and socializing fruit fly groups. The data collection hardware and software automates the collection of videos synced to programmable optogenetic stimuli. Key pipeline features include behavioral analysis based on trajectories of 21 keypoints and optogenetic-specific summary statistics and data visualization. We created the multifly dataset for pose estimation that includes 9701 examples enriched in complex behaviors. All hardware designs, software, and the multifly dataset are freely available.

"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.
