At Winston-Salem State University, 'Liberal Learning Seminars' are freshman seminars that teach skills such as critical thinking and oral communication. This code is for one such seminar, called Why Animals Do It, which will be offered at WSSU beginning in 2016. The program will combine several simulation models and allow students to alter parameters and use computers to study animal behavior. All student interactions will be through a friendly user interface -- no coding is required by students.

The Sensory Orientation Tracking Software (SOS-track) is a collection of Matlab scripts to measure the behavior of single animals (such as flies, fish, or mice) in real time in two-dimensional arenas. The program extracts high-resolution kinematic variables (positions, postures, angles, speeds, curvatures, etc) and then uses the motor information to infer sensory experience as the animal freely explores, orients or navigates in different landscapes. All codes, a setp-by-step tutorial, demonstration movie, example data set and detailed information with figures is available in PLoS One.
