Crows process visual decisions twice as fast as humans, study finds

Researchers at the University of Tübingen report that crows make certain visual decisions twice as fast as humans and monkeys, suggesting a distinct neural mechanism for rapid sensory processing. The finding challenges assumptions about cognitive speed scaling with brain size, though the specific task and neural basis remain to be fully detailed. This is a fundamental discovery in comparative neuroscience with implications for understanding avian cognition.
