Include Timestamp for Each Behavioral Bout

[mrnels19]

Would it be possible for SimBA to include the timestamp for each behavioral bout in a video? I know that the time of first occurrence for each behavior is reported in the .csv files under "Analyze Machine Predictions" and in each time bin in "Time Bins: Machine Predictions." However, the timestamp for every behavioral bout in the video is not listed. By including the timestamp for each behavioral bout, patterns of behavior can be identified in a video.

Hi @mrnels19, that's a good point. To be honest, I'm losing track on all the functionalities and it feels like this should already be available through some menu somewhere but I don't know lol. It is calculated by THIS function and SimBA uses it as base for many of other calculations.

How about I insert another checkbox in this pop-up menu in the screengrab below, that when checked outputs a CSV that list the start times, end times, start frames and end-frames of all selected behaviors in all videos, does that work?

Thank you! This update sounds great.

By the way, do you know the name of the most updated version of SimBA that will have this feature?

@mrnels19 It will be in 1.74.4 - if you update with pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --upgrade you should see it:

If you check this button, you can expect a file in the logs folder named and looking like this:

detailed_bout_data_summary_20231011091832.csv

Let me know if that is what your looking for or if anything is missing!
