SOS-track

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.
