Every year, @ProjectCETI organizes the Decoding Communication in Nonhuman Species workshop that brings together scientists working on nonhuman communication and conservation.

This year's program included talks on dolphins, human babies, LLMs, plants, emergent communication, and of course whales.

All the amazing talks and discussions from the 3rd workshop (2024) are available! @SimonsInstitute

I think this piece points to the biggest challange we have in academia @maxplanckpress

[Golestani lab @brain_lang_lab]

The work was lead by Alessandra Rampinini and @irene_balboni together with Narly Golestani and @RaphaelBerthele
With the support of @NCCR_Language @IdpIfm_FR

[Golestani lab @brain_lang_lab]

The first paper with data from our WP Aptitude is out!
▫️34 linguistic, cognitive, domain-specific variables
▫️Relationship explored using Exploratory graph analysis

As @RaphaelBerthele put it, not exactly a short read but we hope you'll enjoy it!
