Notes

▪If you have tracked two or more subjects per arena, you have two main nesting options:

▪Nesting: Choose this category if you want to analyze the track segments that correspond to the behavior of the subject of that track.

▪Nesting over Subjects: Choose this category if you want to analyze the track segments that correspond to the behavior of subjects other than the subject of that track, or a combination of subjects. See Nesting over Subjects.
