Key Capabilities

Markerless Pose Estimation

Deep learning models detect and track body parts without physical markers, paint, or tattoos. Eliminates handling stress and marker-induced behavioral artifacts.

Multi-Animal Tracking

Track multiple animals simultaneously in the same arena with individual identity preservation through occlusions and close interactions.

Real-Time Behavior Scoring

Automatically classify behaviors as they happen — grooming, rearing, freezing, social interaction, and custom-defined ethograms with frame-level precision.

Species-Agnostic Architecture

Pre-trained models for mouse, rat, zebrafish, drosophila, and primate. Transfer learning adapts to new species with minimal training data.

Automated Zone Analytics

Define virtual zones (center, periphery, arms, compartments) and automatically compute time, entries, transitions, and path metrics for each zone.

Publication-Ready Exports

CSV, Excel, and direct statistical exports. Automated trajectory plots, heatmaps, ethogram timelines, and Sholl-like spatial occupancy visualizations.

How It Works

ConductVision's AI behavior tracking system combines deep neural networks with classical computer vision to deliver accurate, reproducible behavioral analysis across experimental paradigms.

  1. Video Acquisition — Standard USB, GigE, or IP cameras. No specialized hardware required. Works with existing lab camera setups.
  2. Pose Detection — Deep learning models detect anatomical keypoints (nose, ears, body center, tail base, limbs) in every frame at up to 200 fps.
  3. Identity Tracking — Individual animals are tracked continuously through the session, even during close interactions and brief occlusions.
  4. Behavior Classification — Pose sequences are classified into behavioral categories using temporal models trained on expert-annotated datasets.
  5. Analytics & Export — Automated computation of distance traveled, velocity, zone metrics, behavioral bout durations, and user-defined custom metrics.

Integration with ConductScience Hardware

ConductVision AI tracking integrates directly with ConductScience behavioral apparatus and ConductMaze automation software. TTL synchronization enables frame-accurate event alignment with electrophysiology, optogenetics, and calcium imaging recordings.

The complete pipeline — from custom-built maze hardware to automated experiment control to AI-powered behavioral analysis — is available from a single vendor with unified support.
