The ECOCAPTURE ethograms: apathy ethogram and disinhibition ethogram
Description
This dataset provides two ethograms: the ECOCAPTURE apathy ethogram and the ECOCAPTURE disinhibition ethogram. The ECOCAPTURE apathy ethogram includes 13 behaviors and 31 modifiers divided in two behavioral categories: motor patterns, activity states. The ECOCAPTURE disinhibition ethogram includes 16 behaviors divided in three disinhibition categories: compulsivity, impulsivity, social disinhibition. The ECOCAPTURE protocol [1,2] developed at ICM [3], was designed to assess neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as apathy [4] and disinhibition [5], in natural settings and under a controlled scenario. The ECOCAPTURE scenario mimics a naturalistic situation (i.e., waiting comfortably in a waiting room). The experiments took place on the ICM’s core facility (PRISME) [6] dedicated to the functional exploration of human behavior. The PRISME platform was equipped with a six-ceiling camera system (not hidden) covering the entire waiting room. During the experiment, individuals’ behavior was video-recorded. The subjects were informed at the time of initial consent that their behavior would be tracked and recorded by video cameras located in the room.
