Research news on videography

Videography, as a method, involves the systematic capture and recording of dynamic visual information using electronic or digital imaging devices for purposes such as observation, analysis, and documentation in research or applied settings. It encompasses standardized protocols for camera placement, frame rate, resolution, lighting, and audio capture to ensure reproducibility and quantitative or qualitative analyzability of recorded events. In scientific and technical contexts, videography is often integrated with motion analysis, behavioral coding, or computer vision algorithms, enabling frame-by-frame examination, temporal segmentation, and extraction of kinematic, interactional, or environmental variables from continuous visual data streams.

Courtship is complicated, even in fruit flies

Love is in the air for the vinegar fly. Drosophila melanogaster has long been a model for understanding how brains translate sensory information into courtship behavior. Male flies perform a multitude of romantic actions—orienting, ...

A one-pixel camera for recording holographic movies

A new camera setup can record three-dimensional movies with a single pixel. Moreover, the technique can obtain images outside the visible spectrum and even through tissues. The Kobe University development thus opens the door ...
