Machine learning gives us a dog's-eye view

Dog's minds are being read! Researchers have used fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans of dogs' brains and a machine learning tool to reconstruct what the pooch is seeing. The results suggest that dogs are more interested in what is happening than who or what is involved. The results of the experiment conducted at Emory University in Georgia in the US are published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments. Two unrestrained dogs were shown three 30-minute videos.
