Does the tail show when the nose knows? Artificial intelligence outperforms human experts at predicting detection dogs finding their target through tail kinematics

Does the tail show when the nose knows? Artificial intelligence outperforms human experts at predicting detection dogs finding their target through tail kinematics

Detection dogs are utilized for searching and alerting to various substances due to their olfactory abilities. Dog trainers report being able to ‘predict’ such identification based on subtle behavioural changes, such as tail movement. This study investigated tail kinematic patterns of dogs during a...
