When addressing preverbal infants and family dogs, people tend to use specific speech
styles. While recent studies suggest acoustic parallels between infant-and dog-directed …

Dogs are increasingly used as a model for neuroscience due to their ability to undergo
functional MRI fully awake and unrestrained, after extensive behavioral training. Still, we …

The brains of humans and non-human primates exhibit left/right asymmetries in grey matter
morphology, white matter connections, and functional responses. These asymmetries have …

Both enhanced discrimination of low-level features of auditory stimuli and mutations of
SHANK3 (a gene that encodes a synaptic scaffolding protein) have been identified in autism …

Domestic dogs are well-known for their abilities to utilize human referential cues for problem
solving, including following the direction of human voice. This study investigated whether …

This special issue explores interaction and language use in situations involving human and
non-human participants. Bringing together methodologies and theoretical approaches in …

The first studies that sought to establish two-way communication between humans and great
apes led to important findings but were nevertheless heavily criticized for their training …

Studies have shown that both cotton-top tamarins as well as rats can discriminate between
two languages based on rhythmic cues. This is similar to the capabilities of young infants …

A central feature in music is the hierarchical organization of its components. Musical pieces
are not a simple concatenation of chords, but are characterized by rhythmic and harmonic …

Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have shown remarkable potential in human neuroscience
and medicine. Yet, their application with animals, in particular canines, remains largely …
