Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) and the Journey to Listen to and Translate Whale-Speak

Sperm whales have highly developed neuroanatomical features, cognitive abilities, social structures, and discrete click-based encoding that can be excellent models for advanced tools that can be applied to other animals. This talk will detail advancements in the understanding of the communication of whales that can be built upon as a template to decipher other forms of animal and non-human communication. Recent findings by the Project CETI team will be presented as well as the development of minimally-invasive listening technology for investigating non-human communication and behavioral research.­­­
