Putting cute dogs in an MRI machine and watching their brains while they watch home movies might sound like a rollicking good time just for its own sake.
Putting cute dogs in anwatch home movies might sound like a rollicking good time just for its own sake. As a bonus, it can also be educational.to decode the visual processing taking place inside the minds of a pair of pooches. They discovered a fascinating difference between canine and human perception: dogs are way more visually attuned to actions, rather than who or what is performing those actions.
The research, as Phillips noted, was conducted on two dogs, Daisy and Bhubo. The team had filmed three 30-minute videos, using a gimbal and a selfie stick, of dog-specific content. This included dogs running around, and humans interacting with dogs, giving them pets or treats. Other activities included vehicles passing by, humans interacting with each other, a deer crossing a path, a cat in a house, and dogs walking on leashes.
So the researchers were also able to scan the brains of Daisy and Bhubo as they sat, awake, alert, and comfortable, in the machine, watching home movies filmed just for them. Sounds pretty nice, actually.."It was amusing because it's serious science, and a lot of time and effort went into it, but it came down to these dogs watching videos of other dogs and humans acting kind of silly."The video data was segmented by timestamps to identify classifiers such as objects or actions .
