Excited to share our methods preprint on CapuchinAI! 🐒💻
We built a field touchscreen + real-time facial recognition system (YOLOv7) that lets wild capuchins “log in” and complete individualized cognitive tasks.

#GreatAdaptations New data from a species that keeps teaching us more about how females hold their own in reproductive conflicts with males.
