Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour (CASCB) and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have converted a former barn into a cutting-edge technology lab for complex behavioral analysis
Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Sep 1 2023 . In it, they can now study the intricate behaviour of animal groups. The barn also served as a prototype for the largest swarm behaviour lab at the University of Konstanz: the Imaging Hangar.
Both are available in an 18th-century barn at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Möggingen near Konstanz and now in the Imaging Hangar, a hall the size of a gymnasium at the University of Konstanz. Both labs are used to closely examine the group behaviour of animals.
Máté Nagy explains the tool further: "We are using high throughput measurement techniques like optical and acoustic tracking, with which we can study the exact 3D position and posture of animals and calculate their field of view". Users of the new facility will have the flexibility to perform different experimental paradigms by leveraging the modular nature of the system.

Mental health problems during COVID highly variable by symptom cluster and population group: StudyPeople already diagnosed with a mental disorder before the COVID-19 pandemic did not show a disproportionate increase in symptoms afterwards. This is one result from the first systematic review of longitudinal studies following their study population from before to during the first eighteen months of the pandemic. The paper is published in the journal Psychological Medicine.

Researchers offer cohesive framework for evaluating biomarkers of aging'Aging' can refer to different processes, making it difficult to define a single and highly generalizable molecule or method to measure aging processes. In turn, there are molecular, biological, functional, clinical, and phenotypic biomarkers of aging that lack consistency.

Researchers predict film popularity by the activity of facial musclesResearchers from HSE University and MEPhI have analyzed which physiological indicators recorded when watching a movie can predict the audience's assessment. It turned out that the activity of zygomaticus major (the 'smiling muscle'), heart rate variability and EEG indicators can tell us most about the viewer's impression of the movie.
