Are humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵
Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs
The selective revision of beliefs in light of new evidence has been considered one of the hallmarks of human-level rationality. However, tests of this ability in other species are lacking. We examined...

Are you interested in what to do with all that movement data you often get in your neuroscience measures? Is it just noise, or how can we make use of it? This December, we are organizing a workshop in Lübeck to discuss precisely these questions. (1/2)
