3D-MuPPET featured in the uni magazine! Go check out the really cute illustrations of our pigeon work 🐦🐦 Sorry it's in German though😅

Still confused if it's ECBB or ECCB 🧐 ecbb2024

Ever tired of manually coding videos? Ever dreamt of automating behavioural coding? Come along my talk tomorrow (Friday!) in ecbb2024, 10am room Meerkat, to learn more! For people not in ECBB, pre-print coming soon...🥸

Alex Chan talking about his PhD research working on YOLO-Behaviour as a tool for coding animal behaviour. He recommends a hybrid approach is necessary to ensure better accuracy 🐦 #ECBB2024 ASAB

Join us at #ICN2024Berlin for a live demo of our off-the-grid MATREX VR, where real animals form virtual swarms! 🐞 Scalable, open-source, and DIY. Visit poster PS2.092 (Thu, Aug 1) to learn more. #MATREXVR Neuroethology (ISN) Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour Iain Couzin

Showing off our ping pong motion capture room for #kscb this year, at least the tutorial gets them off their seats! 🤓 Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour

Kicking off the bridging tech gap 2.0 workshop at MPI-EVA Leipzig today, thank you all for the kind words, which ranged from "I was blown away" to "I was flabbergasted" 😅 Thank you Pierre-Etienne Martin Laura Simone Lewis, PhD Hanna Schleihauf for the invite and putting on another year of btg!

Fieldwork 2024 is kicking in! Looking forward to learn how horneros build their nests! Lapwings already incubating 🙃 Exciting project!

Our first golden eagle study Safi_Lab @safilabmpi is published in eLife - the journal! We propose using the ecological niche concept to discuss energy landscape variations, and show that for golden eagles, the realized energy landscape expands with age elifesciences.org/articles/98818
