Our software uses an autoregressive hidden Markov model (AR-HMM) to identify recurring motifs of behavior, called ‘syllables,’ and their transitions.
Raw motion data is simplified using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to keep key features while reducing noise and complexity.
The AR-HMM breaks behavior into sub-second “syllables,” representing repeated patterns like “dart,” “pause,” or “groom.”
The system maps how these syllables transition over time—creating a unique grammar of behavior for each subject.
This process reveals hidden structure in behavior and provides rich, reproducible insights for neuroscience research.
