Individuality is an intrinsic and essential aspect of mammalian behavior that emerges even in genetically identical organisms experiencing the same environmental conditions1. In the International Brain Laboratory, over one hundred mice were trained on a visual decision-making task with the explicit goal of establishing a rigorously standardized experimental protocol. This effort led to an automated pipeline that produced trained mice whose behavior was indistinguishable across seven different labs, when considering trial-level descriptors of behavior. Nevertheless, substantial inter-individual
