@SevimIsparta 🙌

Excited to announce that, as of this week, I've started a postdoc in the Animal Physiology & Behaviour Research Unit, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bari! 🇮🇹 Looking forward to contributing to exciting research and expanding my knowledge in laterality field! ☺️

@Agnese_Crisante Congrats!🥳

After a few years of work, I can finally share my first publication! This open-access paper investigates the public perception of pet reptiles' needs and cognitive capabilities, with a focus on owners and non-owners. 1/2 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

One week left for Abstract submissions for the @asab_tweets Winter Meeting: Posters, 5 or 12 min talks. asabwinter2023.org

Super excited that we will be hosting ASAB Winter conference 2023 in beautiful Edinburgh 13th-14th December asabwinter2023.org. The theme is Animal Cognition: Pure to Applied. You should come! @asab_tweets @ASABeducation

Hello friends! I need your help! Please take few minutes to answer and share my survey! Thank a lot! unilincolnlifescienc.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7R… #survey #ReptileCognition #ReptileWelfare #PhdLife

🔸 New paper alert!🔸 Blinking, nose licking and lip wiping are associated with a non-aggressive attitude in dogs approached by stranger humans. #dogscience #dogethology #animalcognition @KLIVVWien @VetmeduniVienna link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Hugging pets FOR SCIENCE! ❤️🐕🐈🦎 Do you have a pet (cat, dog, reptile) who you like to cradle or hug? Would you be willing to show us by taking a photo? If so, consider taking part in my student's research study: uws.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?t… Please retweet, thank you!

Inspired by a discussion with @silParacchini here is a new blog post on Messi Magic: Left-Footedness in Professional Soccer Players | @PsychToday psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-as…

Our latest paper: A review on emotion-related behavioural & brain lateralization in pet dogs. 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01… Thanks to my fantastic supervisors: @ElisaFrasnelli @profDSM @coldbloodedcog & Kun Guo

#Music can change how we perceive emotional faces. In our new study we show how #laterality may partially influence this effect: happy music played to the left ear, but not right, made sad faces look less sad. Congrats Erika on your first pub! 🥳😀🎧🧠 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

My new book #Born_Knowing by @mitpress is out today in USA

We're delighted to announce our first plenary speaker of #Behaviour2023; Frans de Waal 👏 For more information about his research- bit.ly/3W8ECtO

📢New work by @kimch4rlotte & @ElisaFrasnelli in🗞️Animal Cognition‼️ 👉Does owner handedness influence paw preference in dogs? 🔬Handedness is the most effective measure of laterality, i.e. the different functional specialization of the right and left side of the brain.

The call for submitting symposium proposals for Behaviour 2023 is now open!👏 - Any behaviour theme - 5-10 oral presentations (1-2 invited speakers) - Deadline: 1st Dec 2022 - Submission via behaviour2023@uni-bielefeld.de For detailed instructions visit: bit.ly/3fHlL8n

Looking forward to giving the talk below at 8pm on 15th November as part of the applying ethology webinar series. I'll also be giving a short talk on 13/12 at the @AnimalWelfareRN workshop on social network analysis explaining how these networks are different to social networks

Our new study is out! :) We found that the Memory and Novel object tests are valid and reliable for monitoring age-related memory performance and object neophobic differences in dogs. rdcu.be/cWu5V

Callitrichid monkeys (including marmosets and tamarins) have strong individual hand preferences, but that handedness is not related to success on two inhibitory control tasks. Suggests brain lateralization may not factor into inhibitory control ability. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
