Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä examined how human brains respond to emotional facial expressions from both humans and dogs.
The study found that the brain’s response patterns to emotional human and canine faces follow comparable temporal dynamics in specific brain regions.
Participants with higher levels of empathy demonstrated improved accuracy in distinguishing between aggressive and happy dog faces, as well as happy and neutral human faces.
The study provides new insights, but it is not without limitations.
The sample size was relatively small, consisting of only 15 participants, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
Future research could include larger, more diverse samples and explore whether individuals with extensive experience with dogs show different patterns of brain activity.
