Cambridge researchers are using brainwave technology to decode the mysterious, unspoken bond between dogs and their owners.
Have you ever wondered if your connection with your dog goes beyond companionship to actually syncing up on a neurological level?
The study, which includes participants ranging from large Newfoundlands to sprightly Tibetan terriers, seeks to understand if, like humans, dogs can synchronize their brain activity with their owners in moments of mutual engagement.Dr. Valdas Noreika, inspired by similar research involving parents and infants, spearheads this novel investigation. “The way owners communicate with their dogs has parallels with how parents speak to their children,” Dr. Noreika told The Guardian.
In the controlled study environment, as the lights dim and the room quiets, dogs like Calisto, a lively flat-coated retriever, settle down on a comfy rug, wearing their high-tech headgear. This calming setting allows researchers to ensure the equipment is properly affixed and to begin monitoring the brainwaves of both dogs and their owners for signs of synchrony.
