IntelliCage is an automated system for recording the behavior of a group of mice housed together. It produces rich, detailed behavioral data calling for new methods and software for their analysis. Here we present PyMICE, a free and open-source library for analysis of IntelliCage data in the Python programming language. We describe the design and demonstrate the use of the library through a series of examples. PyMICE provides easy and intuitive access to IntelliCage data, and thus facilitates the possibility of using numerous other Python scientific libraries to form a complete data analysis workflow.
IntelliCage 是一个用于记录一组共同饲养的老鼠行为的自动化系统。它产生了丰富、详细的行为数据,需要新的方法和软件来进行分析。在这里,我们介绍了 PyMICE,这是一个用于在 Python 编程语言中分析 IntelliCage 数据的免费开源库。我们描述了库的设计并通过一系列示例演示了其用法。PyMICE 提供了对 IntelliCage 数据的简单直观的访问,从而方便了使用许多其他 Python 科学库来形成完整数据分析工作流程的可能性。
