We are continuing to collect cuttlefish images in their natural environment around Okinawa coast and also decided to collect videos in order to investigate the dynamic of camouflage in the field. To complement this video data set and have a higher image resolution, we also conducted video recording experiments in aquarium set up reconstituting naturally like background. We are fitting deep neural networks with these datasets to study high dimensional visual textures within neural network latent spaces. We are also conducting brain surgery experiments to prevent cuttlefish to camouflage in laboratory and better understand the neural control of this complex behavior. Finally, in order to determine the impact of visual environment on camouflage behavior, we exposed cuttlefish embryo to various visual environment and conducted video recording after hatching to assess the effects on camouflage behavior.

我们将继续在冲绳海岸附近的自然环境中收集墨鱼图像，并决定收集视频，以调查该田间伪装的动态。为了补充此视频数据集并具有更高的图像分辨率，我们还在水族馆中进行了视频录制实验，以自然的背景自然地重建。我们正在使用这些数据集拟合深度神经网络，以研究神经网络潜在空间内的高维视觉纹理。我们还进行了脑外科手术实验，以防止墨鱼在实验室中伪装，并更好地了解这种复杂行为的神经控制。最后，为了确定视觉环境对伪装行为的影响，我们将墨鱼胚胎暴露于各种视觉环境中，并在孵化后进行了视频记录，以评估对伪装行为的影响。
