Export Consumption Behavior Statistics

Aim

To export the Consumption Behavior statistics (Intake count and Chew motion count) to a text file or Excel file.

Prerequisites

• Your FaceReader license includes the Consumption Behavior Module.
• Consumption Behavior analysis is switched on in the Settings.

See Analyze Consumption Behavior

Procedure

1. Choose File > Settings and then click the Data Export tab.
2. Under Export (Detailed log and API), select Consumption behavior statistics.

If you like, you can export the Consumption behavior statistics together with the Consumption behavior events (Intake event, Chewing and Chew motion) in one log file. In that case under Export (Detailed log, ODX, N-Linx and API) also select Consumption behavior. See Export Consumption Behavior events.

3. Choose File > Export and select one of the three options.
   See Export the data in FaceReader's output
4. Choose the folder in which to save your log files and click Select Folder.
5. From the Log type drop-down list select the format of your log files, either Excel format or text. Choose Text files if you want to import the log files into The Observer XT.
6. Select Save detailed log and click OK.

The log files contain two columns (in addition to the columns with the intensities of the facial expressions) with the Consumption behavior statistics ('Intake count' and 'Chew motion count') with for each analyzed frame the total number of intake/chew motion events up until that point in time.

Consumption Behavior Data in The Observer XT

Consumption Behavior Events

If you send FaceReader data to The Observer XT 13 or higher versions using the N-Linx network communication protocol or export the Consumption behavior events as *.odx data and import them into The Observer, they are imported as event log data. A new behavioral group (Consumption Behavior) is added to the coding scheme.

Consumption Behavior Statistics

You can also import the Consumption behavior statistics into The Observer XT, either automatically using the N-Linx protocol or manually by importing your Detailed log files as external data.
