From .svt, .smp, and .exp files to open, shareable, reproducible datasets Introduction If you’re running behavioral experiments using Smart Video Tracking (SVT) from Panlab or Harvard Apparatus, you’re likely working with .svt, .smp, or even .exp files. These project files are essential inside the SVT ecosystem but when it comes time to share your results, […]
When tracking animal behavior, video quality is integral to accurate results. When tracking animal behavior, video quality is integral to accurate results. However, researchers, specifically for those new to behavioral analysis and phenotypes, may not know where to start. At Conduct Science, we have been helping researchers with their apparatus needs for over 10 years […]
Huddling, the seemingly simple act of animals clustering together, is a widespread behavior observed across the vast spectrum of the animal kingdom. From the smallest rodents to the largest penguins, this phenomenon plays a crucial role in survival and social dynamics. Understanding the intricacies of huddling behavior provides valuable insights into animals’ adaptive strategies to […]
