Researchers have developed a novel, non-invasive method for quantifying pathological tremor in mouse models using only standard RGB cameras. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of existing methods like electromyography and accelerometers, which can be costly, complex, and invasive. The new pipeline includes segmentation-based pre-processing to isolate the mouse and a specialized Tremor Score Estimation Module to detect subtle oscillations. Experiments showed a strong correlation with accelerometer measurements, validating the system's accuracy in capturing tremor intensity. AI
