The MouseLabTracker software is a Matlab based application that uses imaging processing techniques to analyze video recordings of behavioral experiments and extract information about the animals positions at each time. Tracking the animals' position as a function of time then allows for studying locomotion, velocity, acceleration, time spent in regions of interest (ROI) or any other behavioral parameter under study. The software runs on the Matlab platform and is opensource.
