Macaque Study Centre
The Macaque Study Centre is a unique facility for cognitive and behavioural research with crested macaques (Macaca nigra) at Marwell Wildlife (Winchester). The macaques voluntarily take part in interactive tasks while housed in their social group at the zoological park, and have learned to use touch-screens to make decisions about different visual and auditory stimuli. Dr Bridget Waller and her team are using this paradigm to investigate the macaques' understanding of social communication. Click here to view the video of the study centre opening.
