Research on stereotypy - automatic quantification of psychostimulant-evoked route-tracing stereotypy

"T-pattern analysis is a versatile and robust pattern detection and quantification algorithm that complements currently available observational phenotyping methods."

"Compared to scores derived by manual observation, these t-pattern-derived route-tracing stereotypy scores yielded similar results with less within-group variability."
