https://edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/project/pavca/

Project related to tracking behavior. Used to identify subgroups of individuals that differentially attribute incentive value to food cue. Includes apparatus for studying Pavlovian conditioned approach behavior. Customized rat PavCA chambers are constructed based on modular devices purchased from Med-Associates. Code used to operate equipment and collect data was written using Med-Associates’ MEDSTATE programming language. This program is then loaded into Med-PC V operating program, also created by Med-Associates.

https://github.com/LINCellularNeuroscience/VAME

Software Python tool to cluster behavioral signals obtained from pose estimation tools. Unsupervised probabilistic deep learning framework capable of finding behavioral motifs in pose estimation data. Capable of augmenting quantitative behavioral analyses of data derived from standard pose-estimation software packages. Written based on core functions from DeepLabCut, and readily works with pose data from that package. Can also work with data from other pose estimation packages such as SLEAP.
