Animal communication course
Unlock the science behind how animals send, receive, and decode signals across every sensory channel. This course takes you from foundational theory to hands-on field methods, covering acoustics, chemical signals, visual displays, and emerging AI tools. Whether you're pursuing research, conservation, or applied animal behavior, you'll graduate with the analytical skills professionals rely on.

What will I learn?
You will build a rigorous understanding of animal communication across acoustic, visual, chemical, tactile, and electrical systems. You will learn to read spectrograms, analyze pheromone dynamics, and decode postural and facial signals in multiple species. The course covers evolutionary theory, information theory, and social complexity as drivers of signal design. You will also examine language-like properties in primates, cetaceans, and birds using established linguistic criteria. Practical modules train you in field recording, quantitative data analysis, and research reporting. By the end, you will be equipped to design and execute an original animal communication study.
