Recording of the Experts Discussion Panel from the 2nd Ultrasonic Vocalization Conference, 23.08.21
An exchange of opinions between the experts in a form of a casual conversation on the phenomenon of ultrasound vocalization, sound communication between animals and the possible existence of animal language, which may be an evolutionary prototype of communication in humans.
The first question was: „As it happens in people, maybe also some rats are more or less „talkative”? And if people spend some time alone, they also talk more – as mentioned about rates… In a group of people, also some talk more (leaders? more talkative people), some less; is it possible that this also happens in rats?”
