Peter Cook, a graduate student at the University of California, Santa
Cruz, and his colleagues trained Ronan to bob her head to the beat of
simple rhythm tracks, and once she mastered the skill, she was able to
keep time with new songs with different tempos. “Human musical ability
may in fact have foundations that are shared with animals,” Cook said.
“People have assumed that animals lack these abilities. In some cases,
people just hadn’t looked.”
