We are happy to introduce ourselves to the research community. Who are we? What do we do?
📍 BARKS Lab is a research group at the Department of Ethology, ELTE University.
🐕 We’re exploring vocal learning in dogs, backed by an ERC Consolidator Grant

Our first paper is out!!🐕🎤

Talking dogs? How realistic is it?
We explore the scientific, cultural, and technological aspects of speech-like communication in dogs, and argue that while they excel at human-directed communication, spoken language may not be feasible or even desirable.

Last week at the International Bioacoustics Congress in Kerteminde, the Barks Lab team shared some of our work 🐕🔊

We presented 2 posters and a lively talk :)

We also loved catching up with colleagues, making new connections, and getting inspired by the latest in #bioacoustics!
