Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

That is a legendary paper. First-class trolling.

Is…um…did they ask salmon questions about people?
That’s ridiculous - what would salmon know about people??
CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 2 months ago
More importantly what would a dead salmon know about people?

Dead, alive… salmon are wise beyond their state. Maybe it knew who killed it?

According to the fMRI the salmon knew. Draw your own conclusions. Or read the other comments for help.

There’s a chemical brothers song that, while not addressing your question straightforwardly, proves that salmon can have meaningful social interactions with humans. I think.

I can’t think about Slartibartfast without thinking of Slutty Fart Blasts, dammit dyslexia and too much open.

Pining for fjords, you say. Is their name Slartibartfast by any chance?

For those curious, I found this source: prefrontal.org/files/…/Bennett-Salmon-2009.pdf (Bennet et al. 2010: Neural correlates of interspecies perspective taking in the post-mortem Atlantic Salmon: An argument for multiple comparisons correction)
Essentially it’s using a dead salmon as a lone control to argue that fMRI studies should be more rigorous in how they control for random noise.

That was an explanation that even I understood. Thank you very much
