Flash-fast choice: In a visual test, two crows took an average of only 235 milliseconds to detect a direction of movement and react with the beak. According to the researchers, this is about twice as fast as in comparable tasks with humans and monkeys. At the same time, measurements in the crow's brain show that similar decision-making principles are apparently effective. Tübingen (Germany). Whether something moves to the left or right, animals …

It is sometimes difficult to decide. Crows seem to be faster than humans. Researchers at the University of Tübingen have found this out in an experiment.

Raven crows solve visual decision-making tasks twice as fast as humans and monkeys. A study shows how they do it with their tiny brains.

Experiments with raven crows show an enormously fast information processing in the brain of the birds. However, its special anatomy explains only a part of the pace of thought
