The analysis of temperature changes of the saliva traces left on the fur during laboratory rats social contacts

Automatic analysis of complex rodent social be- havior, especially aggressive ones, is of important scientific interest. In this paper we analyze the properties of the data created as a result of aggressive rodent social behavior. Detec- tion of specific aggressive behaviors is based on the event of leaving traces of saliva on the fur of the attacked individual, which are clearly visible in the thermal imaging. The traces change temperature in time in a specific way. After bite, saliva is cooled and then heated to the body temperature. Usage of this method in social behavior analysis ensures detection and tracking aggressive behaviors even if the event itself is invisible.
