Semi-supervised animal pose estimation software - less labeling, more science!

GUI and CLI docs: https://lightning-pose.readthedocs.io
🎉 Excited to announce Lightning Pose 3D!

A complete redesign of our app with powerful new features: calibration-aware labeling for multiview data, state-of-the-art multiview transformer models for training & inference, an interactive video viewer, and continued support for single-view projects.

Very cool work from the Wu lab pairing #SLEAP with the Ensemble Kalman Smoother!
Super excited to share the first cooperative foraging paradigm in freely interacting mouse pairs! Stable leader and follower roles emerge spontaneously and predict learning. Well-trained mice show stereotyped, role-specific “behavioral motifs” absent in naive animals (1/5)

Hello Bluesky world!

Lightning Pose will co-host a workshop at the Mediterannean Neuroscience Society in Chania, Crete. We're excited to show off our tools and how they can be integrated with #VAME, shared with #neurodatawithoutborders @dandiarchive.org, and visualized in @neurosift.app!
