Object-exploration measures are pose-derived and validation-only; interpretation of familiarity, novelty preference or recognition remains the researcher’s responsibility.

WORKFLOW, OUTPUTS & SCOPE

Review pose-derived object exploration in context

Upload a controlled overhead recording, define the arena and both object footprints, then review familiar-versus-novel exploration evidence in the browser. No desktop installation is required.

Setup

Keep the arena and both objects visible, stable and clearly defined throughout the selected interval.

Primary outputs

Review familiar and novel exploration time, bout counts, discrimination index, movement trajectory and pose-quality evidence.

Interpretation limits

Exploration measures are pose-derived and validation-only. Unusable pose evidence is reported as unavailable rather than estimated.
