🚨We are delighted to announce that our new paper is out NOW in Current Biology 🦑🌅Here we show how #cuttlefish alter their #camouflage response under naturally occuring dynamic lighting ('water caustics')! 🔗authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09… 🧵A thread to find out more:

Shallow marine environments are prone to dynamic lighting in the form of 'caustics', mesh-like light patterns moving across the substrate. While caustics can impair the visual systems of marine organisms, here we asked whether they can also affect animal camouflage strategies.

Artificial intelligence may soon mimic behavior, but without subjective experience, it’s only a performance. Consciousness isn’t just function — it’s what it feels like to function.

Human beings are driven by patterns beneath awareness: needs, fears, curiosities. Intelligence is, in part, the art of recognizing these patterns before they dictate all our choices.

Infants display bursts of conscious-like attention long before language, suggesting that consciousness precedes complex cognition rather than resulting from it.

Ever wondered whether other animals are curious? Check out our new paper: Do goldfish like to be informed? Now out in Proceedings of the Royal Society! Co-lead by tiago monteiro during my PhD Oxford Biology with Mark Walton and Alex Kacelnik doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…
