Recent work has revealed that the neural activity patterns correlated with sensation,
cognition, and action often are not stable and instead undergo large scale changes over …

Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that
profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …

The desire to understand how the brain generates and patterns behavior has driven rapid
methodological innovation in tools to quantify natural animal behavior. While advances in …

Estimating the pose of multiple animals is a challenging computer vision problem: frequent
interactions cause occlusions and complicate the association of detected keypoints to the …

Keypoint tracking algorithms can flexibly quantify animal movement from videos obtained in
a wide variety of settings. However, it remains unclear how to parse continuous keypoint …

The breadth and complexity of natural behaviors inspires awe. Understanding how our
perceptions, actions, and internal thoughts arise from evolved circuits in the brain has …

The study of naturalistic social behavior requires quantification of animals' interactions. This
is generally done through manual annotation—a highly time-consuming and tedious …

Main In recent years, substantial advances in social neuroscience have been realized,
including the generation of numerous rodent models of autism spectrum disorder. Still, it can …

The use of rigorous ethological observation via machine learning techniques to understand
brain function (computational neuroethology) is a rapidly growing approach that is poised to …

Our natural behavioral repertoires include coordinated actions of characteristic types. To
better understand how neural activity relates to the expression of actions and action …
