  Summary: The need to easily measure spontaneous behaviors in a robust fashion in experimental animals is an important problem in behavioral neuroscience. Thus, while this study is timely, the reviewers found fundamental flaws that substantially dampen enthusiasm for this work. The collective major concerns are: 1) the advance provided by this system, relative to already existing and commercially available software based on similar principles, was not clear, 2) critical technical details describing this system are missing 3) the diverse biological applications were not explored with sufficient depth and many of the related claims had potential alternative explanations.
