SFB 1528 - Cognition of Interaction
Loading...
❗Key findings:
➡️ Macaques focused more on agonistic interactions (e.g., threats, fights) than on friendly ones or non-interacting control scenes.
➡️ Interactions involving dominant individuals or close social partners received increased attention depending on interaction valence.
Code, models, training images, and evaluation video sequences are all publicly available at github.com/ecker-lab/Pr...
Funding was provided by the @dfg.de (SFB 1528, RTG 2070) and the @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de, funder of the ScienceCampus Primate Cognition

From Subjective Feelings to Brain Mechanisms: Advancing the Science of Mood through Epistemic Iteration
happy to announce a new paper by @richardvogg.bsky.social and MANY colleagues from our SFB (@uni-goettingen.de & @primatenzentrum.bsky.social):
They present PriMAT, our robust AI model to track different primate species in their natural habitates in the wild:
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
The findings suggest that they prioritize socially relevant events that may impact themselves immediately or later.
The study reveals how macaques integrate information from their social environment in real time.
The paper is published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B (@royalsociety.org)
New study by Sofia Pereira, Julia Ostner, Oliver Schülke & colleagues (@primbehavecol.bsky.social): Wild Assamese macaques pay selective attention to social interactions in their groups. The team spent 10 months in Thailand’s Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, analyzing ~1,000 spontaneous social scenes.
