Elephant cognition The elephants are ideal species for detecting signs of advanced intelligence convergent with our own, as they are far removed from the primate lineage yet highly social and able to interact with the world deftly and precisely. However, their huge size means that field experiment is essential to answer most questions, and findings are severely limited by feasibility. This talk aims to show that we have only scratched the surface in trying to understand the mind of these fascinating animals. -- Dr Jon Brock ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders Department of Cognitive Science, Macquarie University, Sydney 2109, Australia Email: jon.br...@mq.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)2 9850 6869 Web: ccd.edu.au/people/profile.html?memberID=203 <http://www.ccd.edu.au/people/profile.html?memberID=203> Blog: crackingtheenigma.blogspot.com/ Twitter: @drbrocktagon <https://twitter.com/DrBrocktagon> -- -- -- Professor John Sutton Deputy Head, Department of Cognitive Science Australian Hearing Hub Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia Phone: +61 (0)2 9850 4132 Email: john.sut...@mq.edu.au URL: http://www.johnsutton.net/ http://www.cogsci.mq.edu.au/ <http://www.maccs.mq.edu.au/> http://mq.academia.edu/JohnSutton [image: Macquarie University] <http://mq.edu.au/>
