A personal journey in behavioral analysis: Thigmotaxis with DanioFlow
Dr. Torres-Ruiz has developed a tool for analyze EthoVision data. Her program takes data and transforms it into simplified harmonized data for studying thigmotaxis in zebrafish. However, there is much more that could be achieved with DanioFlow.
