Image classification is a highly significant field in machine learning (ML), especially when applied to address longstanding and challenging issues in the biological sciences, such as specie recognition and biodiversity conservation. In this study, we present the development of a hybrid machine learning-based tool suitable for deployment on mobile devices. This tool is aimed at processing and classifying three-dimensional samples of endemic lizard species from the Amazon rainforest.

Article Synopsis
  • The capuchin monkey is an ideal model for neuroscience research due to its unique biological features like brain structure, genetic profile, and cognitive abilities.
  • Traditional stereotactic neurosurgery methods often rely on brain atlases but can result in inaccuracies due to individual variations in monkeys' brain sizes and shapes.
  • A new protocol using MRI imaging, along with a 3D-printed stereotactic head-holder and non-invasive fiducial markers, allows for personalized brain coordinate derivation, enhancing experimental design and accuracy in neurosurgery and benefiting other nonhuman primate research.
