A new #research publication in the journal Science reveals that #crows can #respond to #visualstimuli twice as #fast as #humans, and that the underlying principle of #decisionmaking in response to a sensory stimulus is comparable, despite the distinct morphological differences between #avian and #mammalian #brains.
In flight, an incorrect decision at the wrong moment, such as failing to spot an obstacle or reacting too slowly to potential prey, can have fatal consequences. Consequently, rapid decision-making is essential. A new study by P. Schmidbauer & A. Nieder (2026) has demonstrated that #carrioncrows act twice as quickly as #primates (including humans) when making decisions based on visual stimuli. In the experiment, the birds were shown patterns of #dots on a #screen moving either to the left or to the right; they were then required to indicate the direction of movement using a gesture with their beaks. Throughout this process, the birds' #neuralactivity was recorded.
The study showed that neural activity in a region known as the #nidopallium #caudolaterale increased steadily until a specific #threshold was reached, at which point the animal signaled its #decision. Beyond the impressive speed of these decisions, the study also found that the underlying #neuralprocesses are comparable to those in a mammalian brain, even though the two types of brains differ morphologically (for instance, birds lack the neocortex found in the human cerebrum). While decision-making in humans takes place in the #prefrontalcortex, the equivalent process in birds is regulated by the nidopallium caudolaterale, a region that is functionally analogous to the prefrontal cortex in terms of the breadth of its operations.

Neurons in the visual cortex change their responses over time.

#visualstimuli combined with #verbalcues in #massedpractice, nice!

Consumers don’t actually make their #decisions on their own–instead, they're subject to internal biases, external pressures, & a host of other factors. Having an understanding of how humans react to #visualstimuli can be very beneficial.

This bunny gets me every time! 😂 it’s a cute little statue in downtown Tempe that has tricked me more than once...even though I know it’s there! Lol #VisualStimuli
