Dear BERGers,
I would just like to draw your attention to the fact that we will have a guest seminar from a visiting researcher this Friday lunchtime (scheduled as part of the Cognition group meetings), which may be of interest to those in BERG. Sarah Koopman, from the University of Rochester in New York (http://caoslab.bcs.rochester.edu/peepnpubs.html ), will be giving a talk about “Anatomical and ecological factors related to numerical precision across a wide range of species”. The talk will be in the same room as our BERG meetings (Psychology common room), starting at 12.15pm.
Hope some of you can make it along!
Christine.

Dear all,
Just a reminder that this week’s CORGIS meeting is on Friday, in room 3A94, at 12:15pm – 1:30pm.
We’ll be listening to a talk by Sarah Koopman about the anatomical and ecological factors related to numerical precision across a wide range of species.
Please help Masters dissertation student Robyn Harris if you can (you need to be aged 18-30). Many thanks, Hannah
Dear BERGers,
My name is Robyn and I'm a postgraduate student on the Human-Animal Interaction MSc course. My dissertation project involves looking at our ability to interpret the social and emotional signals of dogs and of humans. I aim to understand whether there are any links between understanding the two different species, and how empathy is involved.
I am gathering data using an online survey, aimed at students aged between 18 and 30 inclusive. If you know of any students that may be eligible and interested, I'd be very grateful if you could pass this email on to them.
The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, and can be found at this link:

Thank you!
Robyn
