• New science has documented that dogs actually "see" in their minds objects like humans do.  Dogs visualize objects like a ball, bone, toys and more. It's called mental representation.  And it's quite a breakthrough in understanding how our best friends think. Here are some key findings from the research:
• This new research documents for the first time that our dogs truly do understand our words and how their minds process it in responding to human language
• Like when Ed said to his Weim Brewster "Go get your ball" how did he comprehend and get it so we could play and fetch?
• The University of Stavanger in Norway and ELTE University of Budapest team put non-invasive EEG tech on dogs' heads to track their brains' electrical impulses to words from their owners like Ball
• They worked with 27 dogs, their owners and the dogs' favorite toys that they knew by name
• The dogs' brain recognitions actively mimicked what's called in humans "mental representation" in the dogs brain electrical EEG responses
• Conclusion: our dogs "see" in their minds the names of objects just as we do
• Turns out our dogs think much like we do.
