USCMed Dataset - Rat Ultrasonic Vocalizations

The USCMed dataset is included as an open-access dataset in the paper, "A Reliable and Efficient Detection Pipeline for Rodent Ultrasonic Vocalizations" which was published at the 7th International Conference on Advances in Signal Processing and Artificial Intelligence (ASPAI' 2025). This dataset was generated from experiments (approved by the University of South Carolina Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) conducted at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. The USCMed dataset contains audio recordings and hand-scored annotations of 27 male rats for the Context trial (details in the paper). Note that, there are empty CSV files in the annotations directory for the audio recordings where no USV calls were found by human experts.
