I used to have a Sheltie that would bark consistently at the stained-glass image of a cat that was seen at at dog's-eye-level in the floor-to-ceiling window of a vet's office. Being stained glass, the image was quite an abstraction, which makes this especially surprising. The same dog would bark at various types of stuffed-animals seen in the distance. I'm pretty sure this particular dog was able to visually discern abstract representations of animals.

Yeah, our dog liked a lot of kids shows-- we'd leave that channel on for him during the day. My (totally spitballing) theory is that it's something to do with the higher pitched voices-- I've read that the reason people kind of instinctively use a "baby" voice with kids and pets is because they actually respond more to those higher-pitched vocalizations (more brain activity or something). So yeah, baby talk is annoying, but there's a biological basis for it, and kids shows have more of those high, energetic voices, presumably to keep the kid's attention.

Not all selective breeding is bad. Making pug noses so short that they suffer with breathing difficulties, just for aesthetics? Now that's cruel.

The refresh rate is what matters most, not the frame rate. The difference is refresh rate is a strobing effect (at least with the old CRTs or LED-backlit displays), while the frame rate affects the "choppiness" of the animation. So for humans, a 60Hz display with a 60FPS animation will look the same as a 120Hz display at 60FPS. Besides, most TV shows and movies are recorded at ~24FPS, which dogs seem to be ok with.

We had a dog that loved watching certain TV shows and it did extend to at least one animated show-- a kids cartoon with puppies as the characters. It also had lots of barking-type sounds, though, so that could be what drew him. He was actually a daschund, so a hound-type dog, but boy did he love his "dog soaps" (as my mom called them). If he heard one of his favorites on the TV, barks or no barks, he'd come rushing in the room. We'd leave it on the kids channel for him during the day since that was his favorite.

I saw a video of a large dog sitting on the edge of his seat on the couch next to his owner. He was watching a football game that seemed intense. I could tell bc the dog was riveted and was almost shaking in anticipation when it happened HIS TEAM GOT A TOUCHDOWN! It was mayhem in the room but the best part was the dog. He absolutely recognized what was happening so when it happened, he flung himself up in wild abandon yelping with joy. I thought maybe he picked up on latent clues from his owner next to him. While it appears that they both reacted at the same time, upon many views though the dog actually gives the clues to the human. You can see her momentarily swivel confused why the dog was losing his mind. It was so fast and her reaction seemed simultaneous with her dog which made it more hilarious. I suggest you try to find it under "dog watches football" or something like it. You won't be disappointed.

My cats like to watch me on the computer. Quick mouse/cursor movements especially excite them. So does lots of visual change. They really like watching Minecraft for example. Putting down a light source like a torch gets their attention, or big changes in color between indoors and outdoors. Also, the particles and drops get their attention as they move fast and spin around.

@SaberusTerras

6 жыл бұрын

It flickers at the rate of the AC current powering it, when the current reverses, the power stops flowing temporarily. So it flickers at 50 or 60 Hz. The filament doesn't have time to cool off that much, barely at all in an incandescent. Older or cheap LED bulbs the flicker is much more noticable, it won't put out any light when the polarity is reversed. Better quality LED lights use various methods of preventing flicker by having pairs of LEDs with opposing polarities or smoothing capacitors to emulate DC current, or go with full blown DC converters.

@freespuddy

6 жыл бұрын

50 Hz power goes to zero at 100 times per second, so old incandescents have flicker at 100 or 120 times per second. That flicker is very small because the filament takes time to cool.

There are youtube videos that advertise themselves as for cats. I put one on one christmas for my sisters cats; they were immediately engrossed by a video of a squirrel finding food on a forest floor. They were pushing their noses closer and closer to the screen, I didn't even think they could focus that close. It was so funny lol.

We had a terrier mongrel who loved to play football (soccer). He also liked to watch it on tv. Whenever the ball went out of screen, he'd run round the back of the telly to find the ball. 1960s, free standing telly, not nailed to the wall, like most today.

One of my favourite moments was when my greyhound tore from the back of the house to our living room and searched behind every speaker for the Logan’s Run cats.

I love how the only anecdote in the whole of Sci Show has something to do with an animal we love. It's not great science, but it's great people...which is great :D

I mean. . . i have a 240 refresh rate on my monitor so my dog is watching just fine...

My rat terrier used to flip out when something scurried across the screen in a show, barked at big cats, and perked up at any squeaks or barks from the speaker. One Outback Steak House commercial with black silhouette kangaroos bounding across the screen just about gave her a stroke.

my family’s dog cooper is a cairn westie. she loves to bark at the tv, especially any sorts of animals. so whenever i would leave the house i would turn on cartoon network so that she had something to keep her company, but wasn’t losing her mind at any live action animals. we have the flat screen in front of the sliding glass door to the backyard. sometimes cooper will look behind the tv stand or look outside to see where the chimps from the animal documentary were

So interesting about the screen rate 60x per second thing. My son went to a projector on a big wall movie thing a few years ago (probably around when this video was made) and he was extremely frustrated about the slow screen rate, describing it like a flip book or strobe light. No one else noticed or cared. He came home saying “That couldn’t have been more than 40-50 frames per second! Good way to make a good movie garbage!” He’s definitely human - I’m not a “dog mom”. I did just get a puppy though, for the first time. Ok, so admit I AM going through a little empty nest thing right now. I am worried that any tv watching will hurt my puppy’s eyes. :)

Please be not kidding about the scishow dog channel. That would be amazing !!!!!!!!!!
