I recently published a paper in Nature Neuroscience on Facemap, a tool using deep neural networks to link mouse facial movements to brain activity. Facemap accurately tracks 13 key points on a mouse's face, representing behaviors like whisking and grooming. Facemap outperforms previous methods, predicting twice as much neural activity in the visual cortex. Facemap is user-friendly and freely available on Github for other researchers offering an advancement in understanding brain-wide signals.
