We are a team working in the Neural Circuits and Behaviour laboratory at the Biology Institute of the Ecole Normale Superieure ([IBENS](https://www.ibens.bio.ens.psl.eu/?rubrique23&lang=en)) in Paris.

German Sumbre is the head of the lab.

Chiara Semenzin and Faadil Mustun are PhD students in the lab.

Research

We need your help to describe the behaviour of dolphins in video clips. This will help us build a library of dolphin behaviours.

Dolphin Spotting

This project uses **underwater** and **aerial** videos, analysed through **four workflows**.

- Two workflows are simple detection tasks that ask whether dolphins are **present or absent**: one underwater and one aerial. These help us identify when dolphins appear in the recordings.


- The other two workflows are **detailed annotation tasks**, shown after dolphin presence is confirmed. In these, volunteers describe dolphin **behaviour** and the **context** of the scene, again using underwater or aerial footage.


Underwater videos usually make dolphins easier to see, while aerial videos provide important information about the surrounding environment and human activity.
