The Habituation/Cross-Habituation Test Revisited: Guidance from Sniffing and Video Tracking by G. Coronas-Samano, A. V. Ivanova, J. V. Verhagen

“…These criteria are intuitive, but it is unclear how they relate to olfactory exploration, that is, sniffing. We used video tracking combined with plethysmography to improve accuracy, avoid observer bias, and propose more robust criteria for exploratory scoring when sniff measures are not available. …”

Auditory decision-making deficits after permanent noise-induced hearing loss by Madeline P. Berns, Genesis M. Nunez, Xingeng Zhang, Anindita Chavan, Klavdia Zemlianova, Todd M. Mowery, Justin D. Yao

“…Our findings demonstrate NIHL diminished perceptual acuity, reduced attentional focus, altered choice bias, and slowed down evidence accumulation speed. Finally, video-tracking analysis of motor behavior during task performance demonstrates that NIHL can impact sensory-guided decision-based motor execution. …”

Spatial and temporal activity patterns of Amblyomma americanum by Daniel S. Marshall, Karen C. Poh, Mason V. Reichard, Lindsay A. Starkey, Jeb P. Owen

“…We used mark-recapture techniques to determine the distance ticks will travel, the proportion of the tick population that is detectable over time, and the relationship between tick abundance and the number of ticks detected in the field. Using video tracking software, we measured the distance traveled and activity time in the laboratory. …”

Maternal singing and speech have beneficial effects on preterm infant’s general movements at term equivalent age and at 3 months: an RCT by Manuela Filippa, Gianluca Filippa, Elisa Della Casa, Alberto Berardi, Odoardo Picciolini, Sara Chiara Meloni, Clara Lunardi, Alessandra Cecchi, Alessandra Sansavini, Luigi Corvaglia, Luigi Corvaglia, Didier Grandjean, EVC Group, Fabrizio Ferrari

“…The GMs were blindly coded based on the muted video tracks to produce both a general score and a detailed score.ResultsBefore the intervention, there were no significant differences between the two groups. …”
