Reading Pigeons’ Brains as They Fly
New York Times
How homing pigeons find their way back to a starting point is not completely known. Studies have shown that the birds variously use the position of the sun and the earth’s magnetic field as a compass and sense of smell and visual cues as navigation aids. But the use of visual cues has been difficult to study because if a bird flies over a landmark and doesn’t change its course it’s impossible to know whether the bird has not perceived the cue or is ignoring it. The researchers developed tiny neurologgers to record electrical activity in the pigeons’ brains as they flew. The birds also carried small global positioning system units to track position. By matching brain activity to location the researchers could determine the effect of flying over a landmark. The birds’ flights began over water a relatively featureless environment and then continued over land to a homing point.
