KTN Talk: Measuring Behavior and Modeling Sensorimotor Control
By: Alexander Mathis - EPFL
Video of his talk
Abstract
Recent advances in computer vision have made accurate, fast and robust measurement of animal behavior a reality. In the past years powerful tools specifically designed to aid the measurement of behavior have come to fruition. I we discuss how capturing the postures of animals - pose estimation - has been rapidly advancing with new deep learning methods. Furthermore, I will present new avenues, where markerless motion capture combined with biomechanical modeling and neural networks are providing a new platform for hypothesis-driven research.
