我们训练了两只猴子，让它们对相应的任意视觉线索做出面部反应。每只猴子都成功地完成了任务，每只猴子都表现出两种不同的面部动作，对应于手势或颜色线索。对于每只猴子，超过90%的回答是正确的。这些结果提供了证据，证明猴子可以在没有社会背景的情况下对条件视觉线索做出面部动作。这些数据表明，猴子的面部动作足够灵活，可以用于进一步的实验室研究——例如，研究行动执行背后的神经机制。
We trained 2 monkeys to display facial actions in response to corresponding arbitrary visual cues. Each monkey executed the task successfully, and each displayed two different facial actions corresponding to either hand-sign or color cues. More than 90% of the responses were correct for each monkey. These results provide evidence that monkeys can execute facialactions in response to conditioned visual cues in the absence of social context. These data suggest that facial actions of monkeys are flexible enough for use in further laboratory investigations-for example, in studies on the neural mechanisms underlying the execution of actions.
