Frequently Asked Questions

Will your solutions work for my research?

If you are undertaking behavioral studies, chances are that you will know the effort that is involved in collecting data and analyzing results. The significant manual effort undertaken by highly trained researchers is time consuming and can be tedious which has been shown to introduce discrepancies in the quality of the data collected.

Actual aims to develop outstanding software which will make this process much more efficient whilst giving accurate, predictable results. We focus on lab animals (rodents, drosophila and fish) but also have experience with both field animal and human subjects. The best way to find out how we can help your research is to contact us to discuss the aims of your study so we can identify areas that could be automated to save time and increase reliability.

How does iBehaveŽ learn to recognise behaviors?

iBehaveŽ uniquely combines proven computer vision and machine learning techniques to "learn" behaviors and then accurately identify these behaviors in an unlimited amount of future video footage.

How is iBehaveŽ different from other behavior recognition solutions?

IBehaveŽ's unique 3 step learn, validate and identify method of behavior recognition ensures that it identifies behaviors as defined by scientists and not the software. iBehaveŽ's techniques are patent-pending in all major geographies giving Actual the platform on which to build solutions which help researchers make the most of behavior analysis.

How are Actual's solutions delivered?

Our software solutions can either be provided as a service where you send data to us and we return results, or as a fullly installed software package to run in your lab. Our focus on design ensures that all Actual systems are easy and intuitive to use.
