This repository contains the main function and classes written in Python for analysis of tracking data in the Physics for Medicine lab.

The code is written in the format of a Python package (physbeh).

This is the core package used for the behavioral analysis in the following paper:

This package was implemented for easily manipulation of DeepLabCut output data. Today there are more structured and well-maintained packages for this purpose, such as movement.
