What your dog sees (w/ Cleo Abram)

[@Howtown]

What other questions do you have about realities your pets experience?

[@sailorkisser]

I've heard that dogs can smell emotions from several places but never got an explanation of how. How are emotions measured quantitatively so we know dogs can smell them? Do we produce chemicals/pheromones for emotions that release into the air that we could measure with a device? Can other humans detect them?

[@digressor]

Do dogs wagging their tails really indicate their emotions?

How are you Vox journalists so great? Vox knows how to hire them and then when they leave, they become even better as they are able to focus on whatever they want. Howtown, Big If True (Cleo), Johnny Harris, Search Party, etc. all excellent. All great story telling and informative.

I can already tell that this is going to one of my top YT channels

This.

[@Lewis94YouTube]

I literally just found this channel and had the exact same thought! Super interesting stuff

[@iea96]

This is what top tier content looks like. Not only everything is explained in a very clear way with top notch graphics and animations, but also the overall pace and side by side comparisons go the extra mile to drive the points home. Fabulous start! 👌

[@kllgrcrbls]

The visualization at 9:56 of dogs experiencing the world through colourful lines representing olfactory stimuli really brought it all together for me!

Here from Tom Scott's newsletter. Amazing first video. I'm subscribed!

Same! Very well made video!

Same here, and very glad I clicked!!!

[@ToScale]

Fantastic video. Shout out to the shot at :45... that's some serious motion control(?) / After Effects mastery. There are likely many hours behind those few seconds, and your viewers deeply appreciate it.

[@CaitlinHofmeister1]

YES! Engaging storytelling and teaching, beautiful (and helpful!) graphics, gorgeous filming, tight editing, authentic and valuable interview footage, perfect pet cameos! Love it all! Can't wait for me. Thanks, Howtown team!

[@aryanothman.]

This is the first time that i cant wait for the first video of a youtube channel to come out,

[@isacami25]

i love that the representation for the smells that the dog is processing is also done through color, because that's the only way we can process it

[@performa9523]

Thanks for the tip Tom Scott, this channel is great!

[@colinthecameraguy]

Staring at those green dots desperately searching for 45 . . . . . . Nope! And this is why my Naval career was over before it began 🤦‍♂️

nobody told me about this channel. now I find it

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

I remember learning about this in university, but that explanation didn’t even come close to this summary. I wish I had this back in my university days. Probably would have got that question right on the exam. Future generations will have THIS to view to help them understand a very interesting topic. I really look forward to future videos of whatever topics you decide to explore and explain how we actually know something. Great channel idea.

[@originstory-earth]

This was so wonderful to watch!!

[@ggbirdymill1618]

Thanks - let us know if any of these types of questions strike you!

[@alexandrawilson7570]

Now I can’t stop thinking about how they got dogs to stay still in an MRI machine… Such a great video! 👏🏻

[@mjwu786]

LOVE THIS, so highly produced and awesome love the animations *chef's kiss

[@ellie8272]

The way I'm wrapping my head around it, is I imagine that dogs see different smells as different tinges of color, and "sniffing" ups that saturation to make it easier to distinguish. And they can visually remember these smells the way we visually remember what an apple looks like

[@kavyavijay4953]

I love how German works. ‘Umwelt’ is the word for environment and is made up of ‘Um’ (around) and ‘Welt’ (world), so it’s the world around you

Wow such an amazing start to the channel! Excited to see what you all have in store.

(edited) i knew Adam seemed so familiar to me, I just had to watch the intro video to answer my own question. Skunk bear was one of my favorite KZbin channels years ago. I'm excited to see how this channel does

Great first episode! One thing that I don’t know how scientists knew were the depth perception and colour blindness of babies. It should be as simple as because the brain is still developing but it’s still amazing how scientists knew nonetheless.

[@colinmarshall91]

That color vision 101 explainer is 🤌🤌

[@Biga101011]

Very impressed by how far into things you went in such a short time. Given the time constraints I didn't think you would get past just the Dichromatic vision. It did brush over some of the consequences of each element, but that is a tradeoff which allowed more diverse information in the time constraint. You include a lot of personal connections, like using people's actual dogs in the discussion and talking about what they think of things. Not my cup of tea, but for most viewers that likely helps them to feel connected. By explaining it to another person it gives the sense of it being explained in a more personal way to the viewer. Well coordinated and put together. Not that you need my uneducated opinion to know that. Lol

Great start! This is going to be a great channel! I’m assuming ADAM and JOSS will be working on their own videos (though probably coordinating with each other and helping each other) as we didn’t see Joss in this video other than the cameo at the end? The Vox journalist are the best story tellers and they seem to get better when not constrained by an employer and are able to do what they want.

The discussion around dogs processing smells like we process vision is really interesting as I have a 13 yr old Jack Russell who went blind 3 years ago. While he does bump into things, overall he's very good at navigating the house. Cool video!

The occipital lobe, or visual cortex, could just be the 3D modeling part of the brain. Incorporating sight, sound, and smells into a 3D model of our surroundings.

[@samatarsam4514]

The final part of the video illustrates how, as a species, we all inhabit the same Earth, yet each of us perceives it so uniquely that if aliens were to ask us individually what Earth is like, our responses would be so different that we wouldn’t even recognize one another’s descriptions. It would be as if we were saying, " No, That’s not Earth!" 😅

[@manueljesusjaenlopez90]

Simply an amazing video. Thanks @CleoAbram for recommending this channel. Very promising.

[@auntie_emm]

Lots of questions: How many times has the "booping" experiment been repeated with different dogs? Do visual experiences differ between individual dogs and individual breeds? I notice that my dogs from hunting breeds seem to pick up things further away, for example. What about wild dogs? I do understand how a dog can develop a sense of the world with smell. If a smell is stronger, it can be closer or larger. For example, when my dog pees on the rug, I can't see it, because of the shag and color of the rug, but I can often locate it and tell if it is bigger. Animals are fascinating. Thanks for the video.

Maybe a good way of thinking about how dogs can see with smell is how we can read a book and see in our heads. Maybe they "read" there environment by smelling it
