Abstract
The field of this invention is classifying animal behaviors. In particular the fields of this invention include using animals in vivariums, such as rodents, particularly mice. When two mice socialize, a first mouse vocalizes a call and the second mouse vocalizes a response. Ultrasonic calls and responses are compared to video behaviors of the same mice, and then a table is constructed where each line comprises a particular call and response, a corresponding video behavior, and a correlation weight.
