Among the millions of viewers were neuroscientists Aniruddh Patel, John Iversen and Micah Bregman. They saw the video and proposed an experiment to see if the bird was really dancing to the beat. The findings were published this week in the journal Current Biology. Video footage from Cell Press, Irena Schulz. Cover shot courtesy of Irena Schulz. Viewed 49710 times.
