The Morris Water Maze is commonly used in behavioural neuroscience for thestudy of spatial learning with rodents. Over the years, various methods ofanalysing rodent data collected in this task have been proposed. These methodsspan from classical performance measurements (e.g. escape latency, rodentspeed, quadrant preference) to more sophisticated methods of categorisationwhich classify the animal swimming path into behavioural classes known asstrategies. Classification techniques provide additional insight in relation tothe actual animal behaviours but still only a limited amount of studies utilisethem mainly because they highly depend on machine learning knowledge. We havepreviously demonstrated that the animals implement various strategies and byclassifying whole trajectories can lead to the loss of important information.In this work, we developed a generalised and robust classification methodologywhich implements majority voting to boost the classification performance andsuccessfully nullify the need of manual tuning. Based on this framework, webuilt a complete software, capable of performing the full analysis described inthis paper. The software provides an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI)through which users can enter their trajectory data, segment and label them andfinally generate reports and figures of the results.
