What does your dog really think about you?

To uncover the truth, neuroscientist Gregory Berns took a groundbreaking approach by becoming the first to persuade dogs to lie in an MRI machine while awake. This groundbreaking study has shed light on our canine companions like never before, revealing their unique capabilities, value systems, and profound understanding of the language we use to communicate with them.

Berns' discoveries have far-reaching implications for our interactions with dogs. By understanding their self-control capacities and value systems, we can better tailor our communication and training methods to enhance their well-being and strengthen our bond.

But Berns' research doesn't stop there. He has expanded his exploration into the inner lives of various animals, including sea lions, bats, dolphins, and even the extinct Tasmanian tiger. His revolutionary work is a must-read for animal lovers of all kinds, providing valuable insights into the complex minds and behaviors of these remarkable creatures.

Through his groundbreaking research, Gregory Berns has revolutionized our understanding of the relationship between humans and animals. His work has not only deepened our appreciation for our canine companions but has also expanded our knowledge and empathy for a wide range of animal species. We are grateful for his tireless efforts and dedication to unlocking the secrets of animal cognition, and we look forward to his future discoveries.
