POSTERS
Browse through a few of the posters that have emerged from members of the lab for different occasions and conferences:
talks
Many talks remain in the memories of conference attendees only as amazing and informative live performances, but some have been recorded and published online, and we are happy to share them here with you.
A 1h invited talk about how DeepLabCut has been used for J.T.S.’s PhD project and what Pro’s and Con’s have been found during the research applications.
Research on the Komodo Dragons with Robert Irwin in the Australia Zoo. We had the Dragons run over force plates to measure some gait dynamics. Watch below:
