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. Ultrasonic vocalizations are compared to times-shifted video behaviors of the same mice to identify vocalizations that occur prior to, during, and after particular video behaviors. The comparisons generate correlations weights that may then be used to apply known classifications of the video behaviors to the vocalizations.
