And that's a wrap for today's LabGym symposium! After a morning of introduction, participants in today's event gained hands-on experience with this #AI-based software used to measure and analyze animal behavior.
ALT Bing Ye, Ph.D., provides an overview of LabGym.
ALT Ryan Neff provides an example of how LabGym is used to quantify behavior.
ALT Researchers gained hands-on experience with LabGym in an afternoon workshop.

We are really loving LabGym; using it to quantify orienting and approach during sign tracking w/ IV drug US. Work led by grad student Hanna Carmon.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The pattern images (as the one that Damien shows in the right panel) are also much easier to proofread the labelled behavior examples for training LabGym than video data.#labgymbeh
