Story summary
  • Researchers found a consonant bias in dog brains, first evidence beyond humans.
  • Kinga G. Tóth reported EEG changes 400 ms after word onset for consonant words.
  • Attila Andics said regular speech exposure can create bias without pre-wired language abilities.
  • The study tested 20 people and 20 companion dogs with streams of made-up syllables.
  • EEG showed species synchronized more strongly with consonant-built rhythms than with vowel patterns or random streams.
