Dog brains track consonant patterns in speech, a first outside humans

A new study from the Neuroethology of Communication Lab at ELTE Department of Ethology in Hungary, published in Science, shows that dog brains can segment speech into words similarly to humans. This suggests efficient speech processing may not be exclusive to human language abilities and could result from regular exposure to speech alone, even in species distant from humans evolutionarily.
