1 year ago Dear Lukash,
thank you very much for trying to use EXPLORE and for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
Multiple objects in trial I am not sure if I understood this correctly. EXPLORE basically can be applied to whatever video to capture exploration at any number and type of object, it is basically an automated stopwatch. The analysis of your results, whatever you measure, is done in post-processing. If you send me a closer description of your analysis with a screenshot of your setting, I can assist you.
Older Package Dependencies Since this is an open source project, it is meant to be adjusted and updated by the users themeselves. Of course, if I find the time I will eventually update EXPLORE to newer python versions. However, there will unfortunately always be problems with dependencies, depending on the system used. On another note: What are those packages that do not work anymore with newer macs? I am not sure why it should not work with python 3.6 on a newer mac if you create and install in a conda environment?
Issues with main_training.py and main_predict.py Are this issues related to the package dependencies?
Thank you again for the feedback and I hope you can manage to make it work.
Best,
Victor

Hello,
I've been trying to use the EXPLORE software for novel object recognition testing and have encountered a few issues that I wanted to bring to your attention:
Multiple Objects in Trials: When experimenters use two objects at a time and more than two different objects across a series of related trials, the recordings have to be separated by present objects rather than variables of interest. This is because EXPLORE does not seem to accommodate multiple frame display during object cropping. It would be beneficial if the software could handle multiple objects in a single trial.
Older Package Dependencies: The software relies on older packages that are no longer supported on current Mac systems, specifically Python 3.6. This makes it difficult to install and use the software on newer systems, especially those with the M1 chip. It would be helpful if the software could be updated to be compatible with newer versions of Python.
Issues with main_training.py and main_predict.py: I've been able to use main_training.py with some minor edits while using Python 3.8 or newer, but I'm currently having issues progressing further without segmentation faults.
I believe addressing these issues would greatly improve the usability and accessibility of the EXPLORE software. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to any updates or suggestions you might have.
Thank you for a great tool,
