• Resumen

  • Abstract: This paper introduces a new method for analyzing how spatial behavior is organized, using weighted Voronoi diagrams. The objective is to track and understand where an experimental subject moves and distributes time within an experimental space, helping to identify specific areas of highest behavioral interest. The method involves dividing the space into a grid, selecting generator points, and assigning weights based on how long the subject stays in each area. Data for the analysis came from several experimental sessions where subjects were exposed to different conditions, such as food deprivation, water deprivation, both, or no deprivation at all. These varying conditions led to distinct spatial patterns. The weighted Voronoi diagrams offered a clear and detailed representation of the areas of interest, making it easier to study changes in behavior under different circumstances, such as varying motivational conditions. This approach provides a valuable perspective for the dynamic study of spatial behavior in changing experimental environments.
