Scientists translate PIG GRUNTS into actual emotions for the first time in breakthrough that could one day let us communicate with swine

Researchers trained an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with 7,414 recordings of pig noises, gathered throughout the life stages of 411 pigs – including slaughter.

The algorithm could potentially be used to build an app for pig farmers that detects whether the animals are happy just from the noise they're making.

As already revealed in previous research, there are more high-frequency calls from pigs (such as screams and squeals) in negative situations.

At the same time, low-frequency calls (such as barks and grunts) occurred both in situations where the pigs experienced positive or negative emotions.

With an even more thorough analysis of the sound files, the team found a new pattern that revealed what the pigs experienced in certain situations in even greater detail.

Typical signs of negative emotions in pigs include:

- Standing still

- Emitting a lot of vocalizations

- Trying to escape

Typical signs of positive emotions in pigs include:

- Exploring their surroundings

- Having their ears postured forward

Way ahead of you, I live in a blue state, I communicate with swine all the time.

I thought everyone gained that communication skill 15 minutes before last call.

Perfect. We’ll actually be able to tell our commute/nazi/Sorozian Pig Washington Dc overlords ( as in Animal Farm) to GTH in their own swine language

And just what did this scientific breakthrough cost us?

The people of Hooterville had this figured out long before these scientists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_IA9T3uT8M

Pass the bacon, please.

Who wants to “communicate” with swine?

We've been trying to communicate with RATs for years without success!
