     eLife Assessment

     This valuable study introduces a self-supervised machine learning method to classify C. elegans postures and behaviors directly from video data, offering an alternative to the skeleton-based approaches that rely on often error-prone tracking. This novel approach holds promise for advancing ethology research. That said, the strength of evidence is currently incomplete, as key aspects - including measuring head-tail orientation, increased behavioral interpretability, and quantitative comparisons to established methods - are underdeveloped and would benefit from further validation.
