Spatial Dynamics Behavioral Analysis of Motivational Operations Using Weighted Voronoi Diagrams
This paper presents a novel approach to the analysis of spatial behavior distribution, utilizing weighted Voronoi diagrams. The objective is to map and understand how an experimental subject moves and spends time in various areas of a given space, thus identifying the areas of greatest behavioral interest. The technique entails the partitioning of the space into a grid, the designation of generator points, and the assignment of weights based on the time the subject spends in each region. The data analyzed were derived from multiple experimental sessions in which subjects were exposed to various conditions, including food deprivation, water deprivation, and combined deprivation and no deprivation. The aforementioned conditions resulted in the formation of clearly delineated spatial patterns. Weighted Voronoi diagrams provided a comprehensive and precise representation of these areas of interest, facilitating an in-depth examination of the evolution of behavioral patterns in diverse contexts, such as under different Motivational Operations. This tool offers a valuable perspective for the dynamic study of spatial behaviors in variable experimental settings.
