a Subjects’ motor activity, as coded by UC-Freeze, significantly predicted integrated motor cortex metabolism in a brain region of interest defined a priori by the coordinates x = −0.448, y = −2.785, and z = 19.091 (inset). b A posteriori voxelwise analyses revealed subjects’ motor activity as a significant predictor of integrated metabolism in regions of motor cortex (blue arrows). Together, these findings validate UC-Freeze’s ability to recapitulate well-established brain-behavior relationships. c Measures of interrater reliability (IRR), Cohen’s kappa [84], computed in the scoring of 80 3-second video segments for freezing, showed that UC-Freeze had “moderate to substantial” interrater agreement with each of three human raters; performed best when compared to human raters’ consensus (magenta; kappa = 0.73, p < 0.001); and approximated mean human-vs-human IRR (gray; kappa = 0.77, p <0.001), calculated by round-robin comparison. Together, these findings validate UC-Freeze as a reliable tool for scoring freezing in rhesus.
