2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Whether monkeys possess the concept of bodily self remains controversial. We found that macaque monkeys trained for mirror self-recognition (MSR) could spontaneously recognize themselves when viewing video images of their back from a third-person perspective (3PP), but this generalization required a few minutes of “exploration”. In contrast, through visual-tactile synchronization training similar to that used in h...
