State-dependent cognitive biases in bees

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact .

Insect cognition and responses to external stimuli depends on their internal state. Adapting techniques from psychology and animal welfare, research on bees has demonstrated that stress-induced states leads to pessimistic cognitive biases in bees. I will be presenting our research demonstrating these biases with suggestions for possible mechanisms. I will then proceed to discuss ongoing work characterizing these states and their effect on a range of cognitive behaviours, including behavioural flexibility, colour preference and spatial vision. Finally, I will discuss these results and other work in the context of current debates on insect sentience and welfare.
