Why Markerless Tracking Matters
Unobtrusive & Stress-Free
No implants, dyes, or handling sessions needed. Our system keeps the environment natural and comfortable for the animals, preserving authentic behavioral patterns.
Increased Accuracy
By combining conventional imaging techniques with powerful segmentation algorithms, markerless tracking maintains proper identity assignment, even during close interactions or occlusions. This means more reliable data and fewer identity mix-ups that can compromise your study.
Comprehensive Behavioral Insights
Gain deeper understanding of complex social behaviors—like sniffing, touching, locomotion, and body positioning—across multiple experimental conditions. With precise tracking of key anatomical points such as snouts and tail-bases, you can readily quantify socially relevant behaviors in rodents or other small animal models.
Reduced Human Effort
Say goodbye to endless manual corrections and post-experiment data wrangling. Our machine learning models are trained on a minimal set of annotated frames, saving you time without sacrificing quality.
Versatile & Scalable
ConductVision seamlessly adapts to lab environments, handling bedding, implants, and tethered animals with precision. Its markerless tracking scales effortlessly for multi-animal or multi-species studies, supporting your research goals.
Advanced Social Dynamics
Unlock deeper insights into group behavior with ConductVision’s multi-subject tracking. Capture interactions like grooming, chasing, and sniffing with high-accuracy AI analysis. Discover patterns in social dynamics, enhancing understanding of cognition and well-being.
Data Types Generated by Social Interaction Tracking
The system produces a wealth of data relevant to the analysis of social behaviors. This data is instrumental in understanding the nuances of animal interactions.
Positional Data
Tracks the x, y, and z coordinates of each animal in the experimental space.
Movement Vectors
Visualize the direction and speed of movement using vector diagrams that reveal behavioral tendencies and activity levels over time.
Interaction Events
Identify when and how animals interact, with heatmaps or timelines capturing events like grooming, sniffing, or chasing between individuals.
Body Posture and Orientation
Analyze detailed body positioning through anatomical point overlays and pose estimation, offering insights into posture, orientation, and movement quality.
Behavioral States
Automatically classify animal behaviors—such as locomotion, resting, or socializing—using machine learning and present the data in intuitive visual formats.
Interaction Frequency and Duration
Summarize how often and how long animals engage with one another, highlighting patterns of dominance, social bonding, or avoidance behavior.
Data Visualizations: Translating Behavior into Insight
ConductVision transforms complex tracking data into clear, insightful visualizations—helping researchers decode animal behavior patterns with precision and depth. Each visual format reveals unique aspects of movement, interaction, and behavioral dynamics.
Interaction Density Maps
Identify high-activity zones with heatmap overlays that highlight where interactions are most concentrated in the experimental space.
Social Interaction Graphs
Visualize the strength and frequency of animal interactions using real-time network graphs, where connection thickness indicates social engagement levels.
Behavioral Time Progression
Use layered animations to observe how behavior evolves across time—capturing interactions, shifts in activity, and group dynamics.
Path Tracking Visuals
Animated plots show how each animal moves through space over time, revealing patterns in locomotion and spatial behavior.
Behavioral Metrics Dashboard
Explore key statistics through clean, comparative charts that detail movement rates, behavior types, and interaction frequencies.
Enhanced behavioral analysis
Allows researchers to observe and analyze a full range of behaviors and movements that contribute to social interactions, providing comprehensive movement patterns.
Group dynamic insights
Group housing allows the opportunity for researchers to understand how different environment conditions affect behavior and recovery of stroke-induced mice.
Post-stroke social interaction provides insight into how stroke may affect social hierarchy, aggression, or cooperation, as well as how it affects recovery.
Improved data accuracy and efficiency
24/7 tracking ensures non-invasive behavioral monitoring, minimizing stress to the animal and reducing error due to physical handling and constant human presence.
Long-term, continuous tracking reveals behavioral changes across time and light-dark cycles that are otherwise impossible to obtain.
