    Animals in general, I would think. Pattern recognition will go a long way toward decoding some difficult cognition-related questions we have about animals, in particular how they communicate.

    so their idea is to put an ipad in the middle of the forest, installed with games, and if played right, delievers a treat... makes me wonder if something alien civilization is not doing something like that to us.

      Big Tech is doing that to us.

      When we make the algo happy we get treats - likes, shares, followers - dopamine hits.
