Title: Precise quantification of natural behavior with computer vision
Abstract: To understand the neural control of movement, cognition, and social interaction, we need to precisely quantify motor behaviors. Deep learning tools now enable to extract meaningful behavioral signals from raw videos, in high spatiotemporal resolution. These technologies are gaining increasing adoption in system neuroscience and are transforming the field in many ways. We will provide an overview of the field, present the limitations of some of the standard approaches, and present some of our own work on pose tracking (keypoint detection) and perhaps behavioral segmentation (discovering discrete behavioral motifs). We look forward to exploring fresh perspectives on this important problem.
