The study aims to develop technology for anesthesia-free heartbeat measurements in moving zebrafish. Our approach combines shortwave-infrared imaging and machine-learning-based tracking of the heart. It is a non-invasive, label-free, and user-friendly technique that suits a wide range of studies on the zebrafish model.
