"When Dogs and Humans Connect, So Do Their Brainwaves
New research reveals that when dogs and humans gaze at each other, their brain activity synchronizes, a phenomenon known as neural coupling.
This brain alignment, previously observed only within species, highlights the unique connection between humans and dogs.
Dogs with a genetic mutation affecting neural connectivity showed reduced brain synchronization, suggesting that neural structure impacts this connection.
Interestingly, these dogs showed improved coupling with humans after receiving an experimental treatment.
The findings suggest that eye contact between dogs and their humans enhances their relationship by aligning their brain signals."
Interesting. I would like to know whether the dog or the person's brain activity shifts most.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteNot surprising to anyone who has ever owned a dog.
ReplyDeleteIt seems man and dog were meant to be together.
ReplyDeleteAwe I am dog sitting right now. Gonna call the pooch over to see if I can do some neuro coupling.
ReplyDeleteBoth are very interesting articles. There is so much about the brain that we don't know. It is absolutely fascinating.
ReplyDeleteMy dawg and I will discuss neural coupling this evening.
ReplyDeleteWas the experimental treatment eye contact?
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteIt's the same thing with humans and horses.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Besides making eye contact, I also think my invisible tail is wagging when I see Frizz and Lucy.
