Abstract
The search for biomarkers of psychiatric disorders
is an important area within translational psychiatry, as these
biomarkers could potentially be transferable to humans. Research
in this area involves observing behaviour of the animal under
different experimental conditions (e.g. after application of a
drug). Although a wide range of such experiments are conducted,
there is little existing software dedicated to the analysis of the
resulting data. In this work, a new method for quantifying rodent
behavioural data is attempted, by applying existing research on
the discovery of frequent patterns (’motifs’) in time series data.
These patterns are then interpreted as features to be used for
classification, in order to compare the results to existing methods.
