As part of this week-long event, I will be hosting a 2-day “Animals in Motion” workshop in London, with the generous support of @SoftwareSaved.

It’s for anyone who wants to get hands-on experience with using open-source software to track animals from video footage and analyse their motion.

Attendance is free of charge, but spots are limited. A small number of travel stipends are available. More info at neuroinformatics.dev/open-soft

General Stanley McChrystal: "Fear isolates. It pushes us into ideological bunkers, surrounding us only with those who think like us. And when fear festers, it mutates. What begins as anxiety turns into resentment. Resentment hardens into hatred. Hatred strips away our ability to see others as people. The result is a society riven by suspicion and hostility."

EurekAlert!Drug pollution alters migration behavior in salmonStudy reveals commonly detected environmental levels of clobazam – a medication often prescribed for sleep disorders – increased the river-to-sea migration success of juvenile salmon in the wild. The research team employed slow-release pharmaceutical implants and animal-tracking transmitters to monitor how exposure to clobazam and the opioid painkiller tramadol – another common pharmaceutical pollutant – affected the behaviour and migration of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Sweden’s River Dal as they migrated to the Baltic Sea.

Animal behavioral diversity at risk in the face of declining #biodiversity
How understanding animal #behavior, including tool use, can shed light on human behavior and culture

eurekalert.org/news-releases/1

EurekAlert!Animal behavioral diversity at risk in the face of declining biodiversityDrastic declines in biodiversity due to human activities present risks to understanding animal behaviors such as tool use, according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Shrinking animal populations make the study of these behaviors increasingly difficult, underscoring the urgency of targeted conservation efforts and inclusive conservation strategies. Action is needed not only for research, but also to respect our shared cultural heritage with animal species.

People interpret dogs' emotions based on context. When shown a picture of a dog adjacent to a leash, they interpret the dog as being happy; when the same picture is manipulated to show the dog adjacent to a vacuum cleaner, they interpret the dog as being unhappy.

Knowridge Science Report · Are we misreading our dogs? New research says yesMany dog owners believe they can easily understand their pets’ emotions. A wagging tail means happiness, a guilty look means regret, and a lowered head means sadness. But new research from Arizona State University suggests that humans often misread their dogs’ emotions. The study, published in Anthrozoös, found that people judge their dog’s emotions based […]

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂

→ What Ketamine Does to the #Human #Brain (via @carolannie)

“[T]he #drug is reportedly popular among #SiliconValley’s #tech elite, and a feature at some wellness retreats, including those for #leadership development, corporate team building, or couples counseling”

“#Musk has said he uses #ketamine regularly, so for the past couple of years, public speculation has persisted about how much he takes, whether he’s currently #high, or how it might affect his #behavior”

Trump’s ambush of Zelensky killed #diplomacy

Instead of analyzing its political impact, let’s focus on details of #manners, gestures. It may seem less important, but reveal more about underlying basic stance

The #behavior of 2 #arrogant, self-assured US politicians treating the leader of #Ukraine in extremely #disrespectful, #brutal manner. The only country whose representatives using such brutal language is #Russia
