Automatic Detection of Mind-Wandering using Facial Expressions

Spending time in front of screens has become an inescapable activity, which might be interrupted by unrelated external causes. While automatic approaches to identify mind-wandering (MW) have already been investigated, past research was done with self-reports or physiological data. This work explores automated detection utilizing solely facial...

Full-Whisker Tracking System: A new algorithm for accurate whisker tracking in untrimmed head-fixed mice.

The movement of whiskers in head-fixed mice is of high interest for neurological research, as it allows scientists to learn more about learning processes during active touch. However, manual tracking of whiskers in thousands of frames is not feasible, and reliable tracking of individual whiskers is not possible with the best current software...
