The Social Swim: What Zebrafish Can Teach Us About the Brain Through Shoaling Behavior
The Hidden Language of Shoaling In the calm ripples of a zebrafish tank, something remarkable happens: a cluster of fish align loosely, shifting and adjusting in response to each other’s presence. They’re not communicating in words—but they are communicating. Shoaling, or the innate tendency of fish to group together, is one of the most accessible […]
Top 6 Alternatives to DeepLabCut: AI Tracking Without the Complexity (2025 Edition)
Conduct Science | Behavioral Tracking Without the Coding Headaches Why Researchers Need Simpler AI Tracking DeepLabCut revolutionized behavior research by introducing open-source, deep learning-based pose estimation. It proved that markerless, body-point detection was possible at scientific precision. However, for many labs, DeepLabCut is powerful—but not easy. Annotating hundreds of frames is time-consuming. Training neural networks […]
