Fig. Pet dog Maeva is ready for data collection in the magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The bandage serves as an additional noise protection in combination with earplugs. University of Vienna CCNU (ccnu.univie.ac.at) - Dogs and humans process body postures similarly in their brains A study by researchers at the University of Vienna and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna shows that information from body postures plays a similarly important role for dogs as it does for humans. The results offer new insights into how dogs and humans perceive each other and their environment. They confirm that the temporal lobe plays a central role in social communication and perception. The study is currently published in the journal Communications Biology.
