Topic: Social Behavior Analysis Social animals communicate to compete, find mates, tend to offspring, and myriad other needs. This communication occurs via signals – actions or structures that carry information to a receiver. In this computational lab we will explore the expression, limits, and individual variation in set of signals known as performance signals from acoustic and video data sets. Students will dive deep into primary literature to understand the theoretical basis for behavior, will learn to measure some aspects of behavior, and will gain experience in using specialized programming to apply to video and other data sets. The semester will culminate with individual research proposals built upon the readings and experience from the lab. Prerequisite: MTH/SDS 220 or 201 and a neuroscience course, or by permission of the instructor.

[CE] SDS/MTH 220 or 201, and a NSC course
