Last week at the International Bioacoustics Congress in Kerteminde, the Barks Lab team shared some of our work 🐕🔊 We presented 2 posters and a lively talk :) We also loved catching up with colleagues, making new connections, and getting inspired by the latest in #bioacoustics!

Bridging Brains and Bioacoustics is back! Please join us next week for fantastic talks from speakers Rada Mihalcea, Álvaro Vega-Hidalgo, and Tamás Faragó @barkslab.bsky.social @radamihalcea.bsky.social 🗓️September 25th 10:00 EST ✅ Register here: braincoustics.com #bioacoustics #neuroskyence

This might be my last dog–pig comparative study (or who knows?). royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Our P.I., and dog vocalization expert @tamsa42.bsky.social gave this nice interview during #CSF2025 Check it out if you are curious about our work on dog vocal communication and vocal learning :) www.linkedin.com/posts/dogs-a...

Our first paper is out!!🐕🎤 Talking dogs? How realistic is it? We explore the scientific, cultural, and technological aspects of speech-like communication in dogs, and argue that while they excel at human-directed communication, spoken language may not be feasible or even desirable. #dogscience

We are happy to introduce ourselves to the research community. Who are we? What do we do? 📍 BARKS Lab is a research group at the Department of Ethology, ELTE University. 🐕 We’re exploring vocal learning in dogs, backed by an ERC Consolidator Grant #ethology #animalbehaviour #caninescience #vocal
