Insect Group

Analysis of Social Behavior Using Deep Learning

Overview

The Insect Group is working to elucidate the molecular basis of social behavior using crickets as a model organism. Specifically, we use deep learning to track courtship and fighting behaviors with high precision, visualizing detailed behavioral patterns. In addition, by integrating behavioral data with omics data, we aim for a comprehensive understanding of social behavior. This research is a collaboration with the Suzuki Lab (https://web.tuat.ac.jp/~tszk/index.html) and the Kataoka Lab (https://web.tuat.ac.jp/~ttanaka/research/bio-info/03.html) at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.
