Establishing a Culture of Collaboration in Primate Cognition Research

[ManyPrimates @ManyPrimates]

🚨 Exciting news! The ManyPrimates3 project is now open for data collection! In MP3, we will assess the ability of primates to make inferences by exclusion. Join us to explore primate cognition and promote large scale collaboration!

We're thrilled to have Jafar onboard, but we’re not stopping here! We’re inviting new research sites with primates to join the project-as long as they comply with our ethical guidelines. If you’re interested in joining, reach out to learn how you can contribute!

In this experiment, Jafar faces a fun challenge: he’s presented with two cups. By observing the content of just one cup, he deduces what must be in the other! 🧠 It’s amazing to see his problem-solving skills in action, giving us insight into primate cognition and learning.

What about the brain best predicts short-term memory in primates?

In our new paper, we found that whole brain size - not specific regions or EQ - is the best predictor. This suggests domain-general rather than specific cognitive foundations.
