We have officially received and built our new stand, and it is absolutely beautiful! We are so excited to test it out and start collecting data on the gorillas! We plan on test driving the stand tomorrow, and if the gorillas are comfortable with it, then we fully intend on collecting quantitive data. Progress is being made at a record pace, we couldn't be more excited and ready to keep going!

An animals' "umwelt" is the way in which they perceive the world. With the use of eye-tracking technology, we will present the gorillas with different images to explore the ways in which gorillas see and respond to their world. The overarching goal of this project is to determine visual processing patterns in the gorillas at the Buffalo Zoo and expand our understanding of how they see their world. In other words, this study aims to further our current understanding of the “gorilla umwelt.”
