Unconvincing. How do they know that the animal implant produces that sharp beautiful baby face??? They apparently measured the signal and concluded “it looks good!”
If it works, then get a VIDEO of the animal recognizing a sign leading to food(and differentiating from a very similar sign that leads to bad tasting junk.)
