We developed data-driven models relating experimental variables to videos of behavior. Applied to mouse operant behavior, they revealed behavioral encoding of cognitive variables. Model-based decoding of videos yielded an accurate account of single-trial behavior in terms of the relationship between cognition, motor output and cortical activity. ER -
