Remember the last time you scolded your dog？ He probably knew exactly what you meant. A new study shows that dogs and humans share a 1）cerebral link when it comes to vocal recognition. Using the same parts as human brains， little Fido is capable of recognizing voices and even determining their emotional tone.
Researchers at E？tv？s Loránd University measured the brain activity in 11 dogs and 22 humans， playing both dog barks and vocal samples during separate 2）MRIs for each subject. Unsurprisingly the tested dogs responded strongest to other dog barks and non-vocal environmental noises， while the human subjects almost all preferred the voice samples.
While the results aren’t ground-breaking， research leader Attila Andics says it’s an important finding.
Atilla： Dogs and humans use similar brain mechanisms to process social information. This is a first step to understand what makes vocal communication between dogs and humans so successful.
And cognitive 3）pathologist Marc Bekoff says the findings probably aren’t limited to pet dogs， telling Wired， “Certainly wolves， 4）coyotes and other undomesticated members of the 5）canine 6）genus are quite vocal and sensitive to emotion. Perhaps that’s why humans and dogs made such a good team.”
Since the research only included the Golden Retriever and Border Collie mix， the team hopes to test more 7）breeds in the future.
还记得你上次责备你的狗吗？他可能清楚地知道你的意思。一项新的研究显示：在声音感知方面，狗和人类的大脑连接是一致的。小狗费多动用与人类大脑的同一部分，能够识别人的声音，甚至辨别话语的情感语调。
来自匈牙利罗兰大学的研究者对11只狗和22个人的大脑活动进行测试，在对每个对象单独进行核磁共振的过程中，分别向测试对象播放狗吠和人声样本。意料之中的是，狗类实验对象对其他狗的叫声以及无人声环境下的噪音反应最强烈，而几乎所有人类实验对象都偏向于对人声样本做出强烈反应。
该项研究的结论算不上是突破，但研究的负责人阿提拉·安迪克斯说，这是一个重要发现。
阿提拉：狗和人类运用相似的大脑机制来处理交际信息。此项成果是理解人和狗之间如何能成功进行声音交流的第一步。
认知病理学家马克·贝科夫对“连线”网站说：“这一发现可能不限于宠物狗，也适用于狼、山狗以及其他未经驯化的犬属动物，他们对声音和情感相当敏感。也许这正是狗与人类相处融洽的原因。”
目前这项研究仅对黄金猎犬和边境牧羊犬这两个犬种进行，研究团队希望在将来对更多的犬种进行测试。
