AI Opens New Era in Cognitive Studies of Wild Primates
We developed a low-cost, open-source AI system to automate cognitive testing of wild capuchins in Costa Rica. By integrating facial recognition with interactive touchscreens, we bridge the gap between controlled lab experiments and complex natural environments. This approach allows us to study individual personalities and environmental influences on primate cognition without removing them from their habitat.
It's a way of getting into the minds behind the personalities.
