Magdalena Boch and Claus Lamm from the SCAN-Unit explain on the ORF 1 children's TV-program, how they study the brains of specially trained dogs through fMRI-research and what we can learn about the social cognition of pet dogs. In particular, they found that dogs process human faces and bodies in similar brain regions as humans do.
