New research study of Sheep that have advanced facial recognition abilities

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

A research group was curious with seeing whether sheep would have the capacity to recognize faces. Sheep are social creatures that live in flocks, and they utilize various techniques to have communication. Researchers presumed facial recognition is complex task done by the brain.
To test this, they taught the sheep to relate the picture of one individual, Barack Obama for instance, with food reward as for compensation. They showed both a picture of Obama and another face beside it. At the point when the sheep saw the face of the previous president's, it touched an infrared pillar and was given the treat. Eight times out of ten, the sheep in the investigation knew which face to connect with the treat. To genuinely test that the sheep were perceiving faces and not simply looking at familiar faces in photographs, the analysts likewise gave them other pictures of a celebrity, including from skewed edges. At the point when demonstrated these alternate points of view of each face, the sheep still remembered them for the most part.
