Just posted a new preprint!

Our project builds on @maleenthiele.bsky.social's earlier work and came together through a collaboration with her and @christophvoelter.bsky.social

Just wrapped up a fantastic few days at the 58th Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) in Utrecht! It was an honour to present my research on exploring quality of life in domestic cats 🐈 #ISAE2025

Data collection is underway!

We're using mobile eye tracking to study action comprehension in dogs. Django is helping us understand how dogs see and interpret our actions — more coming soon! 🐶👁️ #Science #DogResearch #CognitiveScience

Thanks @asab.org for funding this project!
