This research reveals that dogs and humans synchronize their neural activity when engaging in gaze interactions, indicating a deeper understanding and connection that transcends species.
The results showed that as humans and dogs grew more familiar, the synchronisation of their brain activity increased, highlighting the unique bond shared between the two species.
Interestingly, dogs with a specific gene that results in autism-like symptoms displayed reduced levels of brain synchronisation, suggesting a biological basis for differences in social engagement.
This groundbreaking study demonstrates the first instance of cross-species brain synchrony, opening new avenues for understanding the complex relationships between humans and their canine companions.
