Basic Kinematics of Mice Reinforcement Learning in Intelligent Cages

Explore a 54-minute lecture on the basic kinematics of mice reinforcement learning in intelligent cages, presented by Prof. Daniel Wójcik from the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences. Delve into the world of animal behavior experiments and learn about the Intellicage system, which allows for the study of various learning protocols in up to 14 mice simultaneously. Discover a proposed conceptual and computational framework that combines point processes with reinforcement learning to describe mice behavior, including learning and social aspects. Gain insights into how point process concepts, originally developed for describing spiking activity, can be applied to this field. This Wednesday colloquium, hosted by the Centrum Fizyki Teoretycznej PAN, offers a comprehensive look at innovative approaches to studying learning processes in animals using advanced experimental setups.
