Dr. Emily Bethell shares future plans for a solitary macaque in primate cognition & welfare research at Liverpool John Moores Univ. #PrimateCognition https://fefd.link/sGxeq

Excited to share our methods preprint on CapuchinAI! 🐒💻

We built a field touchscreen + real-time facial recognition system (YOLOv7) that lets wild capuchins “log in” and complete individualized cognitive tasks.
