Hello,

I've been trying to use the EXPLORE software for novel object recognition testing and have encountered a few issues that I wanted to bring to your attention:

Multiple Objects in Trials: When experimenters use two objects at a time and more than two different objects across a series of related trials, the recordings have to be separated by present objects rather than variables of interest. This is because EXPLORE does not seem to accommodate multiple frame display during object cropping. It would be beneficial if the software could handle multiple objects in a single trial.

Older Package Dependencies: The software relies on older packages that are no longer supported on current Mac systems, specifically Python 3.6. This makes it difficult to install and use the software on newer systems, especially those with the M1 chip. It would be helpful if the software could be updated to be compatible with newer versions of Python.

Issues with main_training.py and main_predict.py: I've been able to use main_training.py with some minor edits while using Python 3.8 or newer, but I'm currently having issues progressing further without segmentation faults.

I believe addressing these issues would greatly improve the usability and accessibility of the EXPLORE software. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to any updates or suggestions you might have.

Thank you for a great tool,

hello,
I just installed the package for testing. Please let me know if you figure what could be the issue here.
Doing the first manual training I got this error:
