Four-legged intelligence: how domestic animals see the world
研究概要
Humans have been domesticating animals for thousands of years. While many studies have focused on how domestic animals benefit humans, more research is rising on how they fundamentally perceive the world and how could humans improve their welfare. I plan to focus on domestic ungulates to systematically study their perception, and to compare them with their wildlife relatives. These investigations will elucidate how they perceive and adapt to the environment, as well as the function of the evolutionary and human factors on shaping minds.
