Our lab is featured in a new documentary📺airing this Saturday (more info ➡️ t.ly/gzn31) -- all about one of our main research questions: What is the impact of cooperative breeding on human evolution! 🐒👀Watch the trailer here: vimeo.com/930974568

This week! Norms and Social Understanding from a Comparative Perspective. Join us in Bochum or on-line starting Thursday. …nderstanding.philosophy-cognition.com

🎶🌞We are celebrating a group of master students who recently (or already a bit less recently 😉) finished their thesis: congrats Sandra, Alyssa, Konatsu and Elena -- very well done to all of you!🤗t.ly/M-Yto

Don't forget to register for Culture Conference 2024! Coming to Zürich on Feb 8th and 9th. We can be attended online or in person, and both are free!

Who’s calling? #Marmosets are ideal models for studying #vocal #communication . However, analyzing their complex communication signals can be tricky. Learn how NCCR researchers Judith M. Burkart and Nikhil Phaniraj Evolutionary Cognition Group found a solution to this!

Are you interested in brains 🧠 and prosocial 🤝behavior? A really cool workshop with an interesting line-up of speakers organized by Paola Cerrito and Judith Burkart is happening November 7th-8th in Zürich! All info + registration can be found below ⤵️

A captivating talk by Paola Cerrito at Protolang about an almond shaped region in the brain and how the relative sizes of its sub-regions convergently evolved in domesticated and cooperatively breeding mammals including humans!

Fantastic talk by Nikhil Phaniraj of Evolutionary Cognition Group: Mathematical modelling of #marmoset 🐒 vocal learning

New labpaper out today, congrats to Paola & Judith 🥳 See for details below!

🥳 Dr. Sandro Sehner is officially #PhDone 🥳 Congratulations to Sandro for all his hard work and a well-deserved new title! He also recently received the Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoc.Mobility grant, so extra celebrations are in order 👏👏👏

Welcome Vasudha 🌞 who joins our group as a Masterstudent from IISER Pune. Vasudha is broadly interested in the evolution of social behavior and has worked with ants 🐜and zebra finches 🐦 before. Her project will focus on behavioral synchrony in marmosets.🐒

🥳Congrats to Nikhil Phaniraj for winning a MDPI Neuroglia presentation award at @encods2023 FENSRM for his talk “Mathematical modelling of marmoset vocal learning”
