Peter Skovorodnikov and I are excited to present FERAL: a new video-understanding toolkit that maps raw video directly to behavior, no pose estimation required.
It works across species, from lab to field, and even in collective systems. (🧵1/n)
#SfN25 Monday morning we present FERAL: a video-understanding tool for animal behavior detection without the need for tracking or pose estimation! FERAL detects single animal, social and collective behavior in the lab and the wild! Visit our poster at board ZZ5 and check more here: www.getferal.ai

New episode of our podcast is out!
In this episode, @yguenzel.bsky.social and Inga Petelski will tell us all about how shy, solitary locusts can transform into hungry, gregarious ones who are ready to march with millions to search for the next meal.
