5/5 We are excited to see growing collaboration across biology, cognitive science, and machine learning as researchers work toward a deeper understanding of communication across the Tree of Life.
2/5 A few key themes that emerged:
🐦⬛ Machine learning is helping researchers analyze large vocal repertoires of wild animals, but human expertise remains essential for interpreting what those vocalizations mean.
4/5 🔊Can we develop shared frameworks for identifying and analyzing communicative interactions? What evidence tells us that animals are responding to one another?
1/5 What counts as a communicative interaction?
This was a recurring question at the recent Computational and Mechanistic Analyses of Communicative Interactions symposium, where ESP's Maddie Cusimano and @loganjames.bsky.social presented their research on carrion crow and zebra finch communication.
3/5 🐒 Communication emerges from multiple cognitive processes, including perception, planning, motor control, and social behavior. How do these processes differ across species?
On this #WorldEnvironmentDay, we're sharing a conversation between ESP board member Christiana Figueres and Rainn Wilson.
Drawing on her experience leading the Paris Climate Agreement, Christiana reflects on climate action, hope, and our relationship with nature.
