What Do Dogs See When They Watch TV?
In this SciShow video, the question of what dogs perceive when they watch TV is explored. While our canine companions can recognize images and movements on a screen, their experience differs significantly from ours due to their unique vision. Dogs see fewer colors, primarily in shades of blue and yellow, and have better motion detection than humans. This means that while they can spot movement on the screen, they may not appreciate the full spectrum of colors or details that we do. The video also delves into the differences in frame rate perception, explaining why some older TVs might appear flickery to dogs, while modern high-definition screens provide a smoother viewing experience. Ultimately, the video offers fascinating insights into how dogs interpret visual stimuli, helping viewers understand what their pets might actually be experiencing when they curl up next to them to watch TV.
