What It’s Like to Think With a Dog’s Brain
Groucho Marx once said, “Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
But it is beginning to get lighter in there, thanks to modern cognitive science.
Groucho’s quip graces the opening page of “Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell and Know,” a new book by cognitive scientist and psychologist Alexandra Horowitz that goes a long way to suggest what it’s like to think with a dog’s brain — to actually be a dog.
