Segmentation of worm ECTS. Top left panel shows video of a tracking experiment with the midline and contour of the worm highlighted. Data was acquired from the C. elegans behavioural database. Top right panel shows the midline of the worm reconstructed from ECTS. The middle panel show the time evolution of the first three components of ECTS. Green and red vertical lines mark the beginning and end of actions
respectively. Note that if the end of an action coincidences with the beginning of the next action, then only red vertical line will show. The blue vertical line in the middle marks the time corresponding to the video frame in the two top panels. Bottom panel shows the behavioural annotation of ESA. The annotation is probabilistic, height corresponds to the probability that the action is an example of a certain behaviour.
This research was published in the journal of the Royal Society Interface in the paper: 'Searching for motifs in the behaviour of larval Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans reveals continuity between behavioural states' by Szigeti et al.
