    Budapest: Faces are more important for humans than dogs, according to a brain activity study on how the two species see each other published by a team of Hungarian and Mexican researchers Monday. Image Credit: AFP

    "The brain imaging findings in the study suggest that faces may be of crucial importance to humans and probably other primates, but not to all mammals, for example not for dogs," Attila Andics, who led the study at Eotvos Lorand university in Budapest, told AFP. "The two species differ in their visual communication and this is reflected in their brains." Image Credit: AFP

    The brain response results showed that a large part of the human brain's neural network responds more to faces than non-faces in the videos. Only a small part responded more to human than dog images. Image Credit: AFP

    In dogs' brains however, no parts responded more to faces but some parts responded more to dog images than human images, said the study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience. "Faces are very central for human visual communication, we possess a dedicated large neural network for face processing when we meet someone," Andics said. Image Credit: AFP

    Previous research has shown that dogs also pay attention to faces, excel at eye contact and at reading facial emotion, but also rely on signals such as the other dog's tail or body posture to communicate. Image Credit: AFP

    "When we meet someone we look at faces mostly," said Andics. "Other signals are also important for humans but the proportions are different than with dogs, when two dogs meet there is no clear focus on faces," he said. Image Credit: AFP
