Background:

Existing animal behavior analysis software often requires programming skills, advanced informatics resources, or significant financial investment.
These limitations restrict accessibility for many researchers in the life sciences.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an easy-to-use, freeware software for animal behavior analysis.
To address the shortcomings of current tools by providing accessible and comprehensive behavioral tracking and analysis capabilities.

Main Methods:

Development of ESTraS, a user-friendly tracking system for rodent behavior.
Implementation of trajectory and angle analysis features.
Integration of unsupervised clustering techniques (k-means, hierarchical clustering) for data exploration.

Main Results:

ESTraS provides straightforward tracking and analysis of rodent behaviors.
The software includes advanced options for trajectory and angle analysis.
Unsupervised clustering facilitates classification of behavioral data based on subject similarity.

Conclusions:

ESTraS is a valuable tool for researchers needing accessible and powerful animal behavior analysis.
The freeware software democratizes advanced behavioral data analysis, including clustering, for a wider scientific audience.
