Well, training a primate to do the same pattern over and over again, while fascinating, is hardly the "programming" that they are calling it :roll: .
Still it is cool to think that it could provide an alternate way of starting to establish some non-verbal communication with primates, since they don't have the physical ability for speech as we know it.
CBTs for Baboons What a concept .
