You can enroll in the CNS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall.

  • Hot off the press:  the second Annolid paper (arXiv preprint), focusing on Annolid's new zero-annotation automatic tracking capabilities.  
  • Chen will present the newest developments in the Annolid software package for deep learning-based behavior analysis using instance segmentation.  There are substantial new advances to present, based on new models including Cutie VOS (visual object segmentation) and Meta's Segment Anything that are used for easier object identification and automatic tracking.  Come with your ideas, questions, and research needs.
