Press Release: Tübingen researchers show conscious processes in birds’ brains for the first time
Crows’ brain activity gives rise to subjective perception ‒ publication in the journal Science
By measuring brain signals, a neuroscience research group at the Uni-versity of Tübingen has demonstrated for the first time that corvid song-birds possess subjective experience. Simultaneously recording behavior and brain activity enabled the group headed by Professor Andreas Nieder to show that crows are capable of consciously perceiving sensory input.
