Automated analysis of behavioral sequences in IntelliCage
-
IntelliCage is a modern system for conducting automated and long-term behavioral test on behaving rodents.
-
A processing pipeline of Python packages was utilized to analyze behavioral data obtained in Intellicage.
-
This allows for identification of novel behavioral sequences that were not apparent in manual analysis.
The following packages are required for using the analysis scripts:
- PyMICE
- Pingouin
- NumPy
- Pandas
- Matplotlib
- IntelliCage archives for running the code are available upon reasonable request.
