Stanford study of owls finds link in brain between sight and sound

plan to use that to drive learning in an efficient way," said Knudsen. He added that they eventually hope to show that they can make adjustments in the circuits of the owls' brains that will lead to improved performance in the owl.

Understanding the mechanisms of attention naturally leads to the possibility of applying their knowledge to human disorders of attention, learning and schizophrenia. "If you understand mechanistically how something works, then you will know how best to fix it," said Knudsen. "It's like with a car; if you know in detail how it is built, then you can fix anything that goes wrong with it."
