Very happy to announce that our latest paper from our virtual environment work with chimpanzees, looking at efficient turning behaviour, is out now, fully #openaccess! More details in this thread from @realprimatthias.bsky.social about this study led by Sarah Koopman 👇
🦍🖥️New paper on great apes in virtual environments: Chimpanzee Turning Behavior During Spatial Navigation in Virtual Environments (animalbehaviorandcognition.org/article.php?id=1390). Led by Sarah Koopman, we went back to basics and asked a simple question about object permanence and optical flow.
