SEE: path analysis for replicability

Exploratory data analysis software for spatial behavior tests.

SEE provides unique analysis of tracked locomotor paths in animals, based on intrinsic properties of behavior such as home base and movement segmentation. Robust algorithms and tailored thresholds for each individual animal enhance the replicability and generalizability of the phenotyping analysis (read more).

SEE is currently developed for two environments, intended for different types of users, from grad students and technicians working in behavioral phenotyping of lab animals to researchers interested in advanced development and study of behavior.
