A-MUD: A method for automatically detecting mouse song

Mice produce a remarkable repertoire of vocalizations across five octaves, which they emit during mating and other contexts. Analyses of mice song can provide important information about their social behavior and for research into neuropsychiatric disorders. But their songs are in the ultrasonic range and inaudible for humans. Researchers have now developed a freely available method to automatically detect mouse vocalizations instead of manually.
