Podcasts about Clever Hans

The hit podcast The Telepathy Tapes claims to reveal a hidden world where nonverbal autistic people communicate telepathically, visit one another on an astral gathering place called “The Hill,” access cosmic knowledge, and perhaps even commune with psychic animals. But behind the paranormal framing is a much older and more troubling story: facilitated communication, the discredited practice that can turn vulnerable people into human Ouija boards. In this episode, Jack looks at the ideomotor effect, Clever Hans, “letter boarding,” the career of Diane Hennacy Powell, Ky Dickens' rise as the voice of The Telepathy Tapes, and how New Age ideas about telepathy, dark matter, the Akashic Records, savants, parrots, dogs, and morphic fields have attached themselves to the desperate desire to give non-speaking people a voice.

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Reliable classification of polyps based on artificial intelligence: a development and validation study. Julbø FMI, Henriksen AL, et al. eClinicalMedicine 2026;93: 103826.Episode Summary:In this journal club deep dive, we explore a groundbreaking 2026 study that tackles the massive bottleneck in gastrointestinal pathology caused by successful colorectal screening programs. We examine POLARIS, an AI triage system designed to safely clear over 50% of a pathologist's routine workload. But what happens when the algorithm fiercely disagrees with the human diagnosis? In a blinded showdown, the AI proves it's not just an efficiency tool—it might just be the ultimate safety net for catching high-risk cancer cells that human eyes overlook.In This Episode, We Cover:• The Pathology Bottleneck: Why the success of colorectal screening programs is drowning labs in biopsy slides, and how the subjective, visual nature of diagnosing polyps leads to dangerous inter-observer variability.• The 5:2 Triage Strategy: How POLARIS categorizes gigapixel slide images into five biological classes (0 to 4) and translates them into two highly actionable buckets: "Review" (the complex and malignant) and "No Review Required" (normal tissue and routine tubular adenomas with low-grade dysplasia).• Beating the "Clever Hans" Effect: How researchers prevented the AI from "cheating" by recognizing the digital fingerprints of different scanner brands, like Aperio vs. NanoZoomer. By using an image registration tool called elastix to perfectly align slides scanned on both machines, they heavily penalized the algorithm mathematically for relying on color profiles, forcing it to focus purely on biological morphology.• The Showdown - Humans vs. AI: A blinded consensus review was conducted on 40 highly contentious cases where the AI aggressively disagreed with the original patient medical record. Three independent expert pathologists were brought in to break the tie without knowing the AI's or the original doctor's diagnosis.• The Shocking Results: The expert panel sided with the AI over the original human diagnosis in a staggering 92.5% of the disputed cases, proving the established clinical "ground truth" isn't infallible.• The RGBA Heat Map: How POLARIS functions as an active assistant, leaving normal tissue transparent (scaling the alpha channel to zero) while highlighting severe cellular atypia in glowing red, acting as a hyper-accurate topographical map for pathologists.Key Takeaway:AI in digital pathology isn't about autonomously replacing human experts; it's a hyper-sensitive navigational aid. By safely managing the flood of routine low-grade cases and accurately highlighting hidden high-risk dysplasias that exhausted human eyes miss, POLARIS corrects human errors and elevates the baseline standard of diagnostic care across the entire pipeline.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Send us Fan MailPaper Discussed in this Episode:Deep learning-based histopathological classification and subclassification of benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. Weber A, Schuster D, Heyer J, Becker C, Burkhardt V, Werner M, Spörlein A, Bronsert P, Schulz T. European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology 2026.Episode Summary: In this journal club deep dive of the Digital Pathology Podcast, we explore a chaotic microscopic landscape to see if artificial intelligence can master one of the most high-pressure diagnostic environments in medicine. We examine a groundbreaking 2026 study on rare salivary gland tumors, exploring how state-of-the-art AI models performed when tasked with distinguishing benign lesions from complex malignancies. We uncover where the AI achieved absolute perfection, where it catastrophically failed, and why its "mistakes" might just be a window into hidden biological truths.In This Episode, We Cover:• The High-Stakes Minefield of Salivary Glands: Why diagnosing these tumors is a delicate and complex task. With 36 potential entities and a practically zero margin for error, misdiagnoses can lead to devastating revision surgeries and permanent facial nerve palsy for the patient.• Training the Machine: How researchers used 20 years of slide data and the "Reinhard color normalization method" to mathematically standardize color palettes. This prevented the AI from "cheating" by simply memorizing fading colors or specific lab stains.• The AI Arsenal - CNNs vs. Vision Transformers: A look at the diverse algorithms deployed in the study, ranging from convolutional neural networks (like Xception and ConvNeXt) that scan local pixels, to Vision Transformers that analyze global image context, processing massive slides tile by tile.• The Perfection of Binary Triage: The stunning success of the AI in the initial benign vs. malignant test. Models like Xception achieved a 100% Negative Predictive Value (NPV), meaning they never missed a single cancer, proving their potential as a flawless morning triage tool for pathology labs.• The Subclassification Wall: Why the AI bombed when trying to identify the specific type of malignant tumor (like squamous cell or acinic cell carcinoma). We explore the deep learning rules of data volume and tissue heterogeneity, and why rare, morphologically chaotic diseases effectively starve algorithms of the data they need.• Explainable AI & The "Clever Hans" Dilemma: By using Class Activation Maps (heat maps), researchers tracked the AI's "eyes". While it often smartly focused on proven biological markers like enlarged, hypochromatic nuclei for cancer, it sometimes made correct diagnoses by staring at random, non-traceable artifacts, raising severe trust issues for clinical deployment.Key Takeaway: Deep learning models are currently fantastic, ultra-reliable screening assistants for binary benign/malignant triage, but they aren't ready to replace human pathologists for complex subtyping without massive, multi-institutional datasets. However, the AI's occasional focus on obscure visual data forces us to ask: is the machine just learning random artifacts, or has it successfully discovered subtle microscopic biological truths that human experts haven't even learned to see yet?Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Discover the famous story of Clever Hans, the early-1900s horse who amazed crowds by “answering” math questions—until researchers uncovered the truth: Hans wasn't doing calculations at all. He was reading subtle, unintentional cues from his handler. In this video, we break down what really happened with Clever Hans and explain why this lesson is crucial in detection dog training today. From cueing risks to handler influence and the importance of blind testing, you'll learn how trainers ensure dogs are responding to odor—not people. Perfect for anyone interested in scent work, detection sports, and the science behind reliable canine training. | Links mentioned: K-9 Detector Dog Training: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/186

AI is becoming ubiquitous in our lives. It shapes how we work, play, interact, create, and even manage our health—and this is only the beginning. To understand where we are and where we might go, we first need to understand how we got here. By tracing the evolving nature of machine intelligence, we can appreciate how today's AI differs from its past and how it is likely to evolve. With that in mind, we can begin to ask the big questions: When should we trust AI over human judgment? How should we govern its development? How will it change what it means to be human? And what roles will humans play in the future of work?To help us through this journey, I'm delighted to welcome back to TRIUM Connects Professor Vasant Dhar, the Robert A. Miller Professor at NYU's Stern School of Business and Professor of Data Science at NYU. Vasant is one of the world's leading thinkers on the impact of AI on society. He was present at the birth of AI and has been involved in every step of its evolution—both as an entrepreneur and as a scholar. He also hosts the acclaimed podcast Brave New World, which explores how machines are transforming humanity in the post-COVID era.In this episode, we discuss his newest book, Thinking With Machines: The Brave New World of AI. It's a remarkable hybrid: part autobiography, tracing how his professional life has intertwined with the development of AI; part user's guide, offering a lucid framework for deciding when to trust machines over human control; and part deep dive into the philosophical and policy implications of creating an alien intelligence.It was a real pleasure to welcome Vasant back onto the show. I learned a lot during our conversation, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.CitationsDawid A, LeCun Y.

This is part three of our conversation with Dr Claire St Peter from the University of West Virginia where she is currently the Chair of the Department of Psychology, and Dr Carol Pilgrim, a Professor Emerit in the Psychology Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Dr Pilgrim has received many honors throughout her career including the North Carolina Board of Governors Teaching Excellence Award, the Faculty Scholarship Award, the Chancellor's Teaching Excellence Award, the ABAI Student Committee Outstanding Mentor Award in 2006, and the ABAI Distinguished Service to Behavior Analysis award in 2017. Her research contributions include both basic and applied behavior analysis, with an emphasis in human operant behavior and relational stimulus control. Our subject is for this podcast is stimulus control. In Part 1 Dr. Pilgrim started us out with definitions and an introduction to the subject. She shared the story of Clever Hans, a horse who was said to be able to do complicated math problems. What he really could do was read the very subtle cues his handler and others were giving that told him when he had reached the right answer. In part two we took a deeper into the subject of stimulus control, including a discussion of relational stimulus control. That brought us to the use of models. Dr Pilgrim described the use of models to teach women to do their own breast cancer exams to detect any abnormalities in the very earliest stages. In Part Three we continue with the discussion of simulators as it relates to training riders. I share a story about a riding simulator I got to experience during a visit to the UK. We also talk about why science matters as we describe the use of A/B reversals to develop riding and handling skills.

This podcast episode explores the evolution of dog training, highlighting the shift from punitive methods to positive reinforcement techniques. It discusses key figures in the field, the impact of historical events, and the growing understanding of canine behavior. The conversation emphasizes the importance of humane training methods and the future of dog training practices.   Takeaways Dog training has evolved significantly over the past few decades. Many trainers are now using positive, reward-based techniques. The mantra 'from cruelty to kindness' reflects a major shift in training philosophy. Clever Hans's story highlighted the need for empirical study in animal behavior. Pavlov's classical conditioning laid the groundwork for understanding behavior. Thorndyke's law of effect explains how behaviors are reinforced. B.F. Skinner's work advanced the principles of learning in dog training. The rise of humane training methods began after World War II. Karen Pryor's book popularized clicker training and the use of positive reinforcement. Today's training methods are rooted in kindness and compassion.

We interview Professor Christopher Summerfield from Oxford University about his new book "These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It". AI learned to understand the world just by reading text - something scientists thought was impossible. You don't need to see a cat to know what one is; you can learn everything from words alone. This is "the most astonishing scientific discovery of the 21st century."People are split: some refuse to call what AI does "thinking" even when it outperforms humans, while others believe if it acts intelligent, it is intelligent. Summerfield takes the middle ground - AI does something genuinely like human reasoning, but that doesn't make it human.Sponsor messages:========Google Gemini: Google Gemini features Veo3, a state-of-the-art AI video generation model in the Gemini app. Sign up at https://gemini.google.comTufa AI Labs are hiring for ML Engineers and a Chief Scientist in Zurich/SF.

Ah, Hans le malin (ou Clever Hans, en version originale allemande) ! Ce cheval est sans doute le plus célèbre mathématicien à sabots de l'histoire. Il fit sensation au début du XXe siècle en Allemagne, en donnant l'impression de savoir compter, épeler des mots, répondre à des questions, et même résoudre des équations simples. Autant dire qu'à l'époque, on était à deux doigts de lui filer un diplôme de maths avec mention très bien.Mais alors… miracle ? Réincarnation d'Einstein version équidé ? Pas tout à fait. Ce que Hans savait faire, c'était surtout lire les humains, et c'est ce qui rend son histoire fascinante — non seulement pour les fans de chevaux, mais aussi pour les psychologues et les scientifiques.Qui était Hans ?Hans était un cheval appartenant à Wilhelm von Osten, un ancien instituteur passionné par l'idée que les animaux pouvaient être intelligents. Il entreprit de dresser Hans en lui apprenant à répondre à des questions en tapant du sabot. Par exemple :— « Combien font 3 + 2 ? »— Hans tapait cinq fois.Et il ne se trompait presque jamais ! Il répondait à des calculs, à des questions de culture générale, à des choses en apparence complexes. Le public était fasciné. La presse en parlait. Et von Osten jurait que son cheval comprenait vraiment.Une enquête scientifiqueMais devant tant de mystère, un psychologue du nom d'Oskar Pfungst mena une enquête rigoureuse. Il fit passer à Hans toute une batterie de tests… et découvrit quelque chose de très révélateur.Quand l'expérimentateur ne connaissait pas la réponse à la question, Hans se trompait.Quand l'expérimentateur était caché ou ne regardait pas Hans, Hans se trompait.Mais quand l'expérimentateur connaissait la réponse, même sans rien dire, Hans tapait juste.Conclusion : Hans ne comprenait rien aux maths. Il était juste extrêmement doué pour détecter les signaux subtils que les humains émettaient sans s'en rendre compte : une micro-tension dans le visage, un léger changement dans la posture, un relâchement des épaules… Hans s'arrêtait de taper pile quand il sentait chez l'humain une réaction inconsciente du style « oui, c'est bon, t'as trouvé ! »Pourquoi c'est important ?L'affaire de Hans le malin a eu un impact majeur en psychologie et en science. Elle a montré à quel point les biais de l'observateur et les signaux involontaires pouvaient fausser une expérience.C'est pourquoi on parle aujourd'hui de « l'effet Hans le malin » pour désigner les situations où un animal (ou même un humain !) semble réussir une tâche, mais en réalité, répond à des indices subtils et involontaires donnés par l'expérimentateur.

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday! This week we're discussing the most intelligent creatures the animal kingdom has to offer.

Clever Hans (The Horse of Mr. Von Osten) by Oskar Pfungst audiobook. Oskar Pfungst book is a detailed piece of investigative journalism looking into Clever Hans, an Orlov Trotter horse that was claimed to have performed arithmetic and other intellectual tasks. Pfungst details the results of many experiments, by the end of which he is able to explain exactly how Hans did it. This classic example of the observer-expectancy effect is still relevant today, as the 'Clever Hans effect' has to be taken into account whenever a study of animal intelligence takes place.

Do you second-guess yourself? Even when you know you've made a good decision? That might be connected to having a "good memory" — in a bad way.

We humans are social animals—and that takes work. As we move through the world, we have to navigate around other people's desires, needs, and beliefs. Much of this work happens in conversation—through our words, our glances, our gestures. It happens in countless different situations, according to different norms and systems. Human social interaction is, in short, a multi-layered, delicate dance. But it's also not the only kind of social interaction out there. Apes, dogs, and other social species also have to negotiate with others and sometimes with humans. There's not just one species of conversation, in other words—there are many.  My guest today is Dr. Federico Rossano, Associate Professor of Cognitive Science and Director of the Comparative Cognition Lab at the University of California, San Diego. Throughout his career, Federico has studied social interaction from a number of different angles, in a range of different settings, and across different species—including humans, bonobos, orangutans, and most recently dogs.   Here, we discuss the field of conversation analysis and how Federico got started in it. We talk about his early work on how people use gaze in conversation, and how the use of gaze differs across cultures. We discuss how Federico ported some of the tools of conversation analysis over to study social interaction in apes. We also talk about his new line of research on how dogs use soundboards to communicate with their human caretakers. This work has been attracting a lot of buzz and also a bit of pushback, so we dig into the controversy. Along the way, we touch on: Umberto Eco; platypuses; how much work it takes to simply come across as ordinary; the concept of the human interaction engine; the Clever Hans effect; the impossible task; and why many scientists are so skittish about animal language research. This episode is not just about different forms of conversation. It is itself a different form of conversation—at least for us. This was our first ever in-person interview, something we expect to do a bit more of going forward. Alright friends, on to my real-life, 3d, face-to-face chat with Dr. Federico Rossano. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links  4:00 – The classic 1964 paper, ‘The Neglected Situation,' by Erving Goffman. 6:00 – An obituary for the novelist and semiotician, Umberto Eco, who died in 2016. His best-loved novel, perhaps, is The Name of the Rose. He's also the author of a book of essays called, Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition. 17:30 – The classic paper, ‘On doing “being ordinary”', by Harvey Sacks.   20:00 – A brief introduction to Conversation Analysis.  32:00 – Dr. Rossano's work on gaze is summarized in his 2012 chapter, ‘Gaze in Conversation.' His work on questions in Italian is here.  35:30 – The quote from Georg Simmel is as follows: “[T]he totality of social relations of human beings, their self-assertions and self-abnegation, their intimacies and estrangements, would be changed in unpredictable ways if there occurred no glance of eye to eye.”  39:50 – Dr. Rossano's work on gaze across cultures is described here.  43:00 – Dr. Rossano did his postdoctoral work with Michael Tomasello, who joined us for a previous episode.  47:00 – Dr. Rossano's work on bonobo interaction is here and here.  56:00 – Dr. Rossano's original work on food sharing in orangutans is here. A more recent paper on food sharing is here. 1:05:00 – The idea of the “human interaction engine” was first proposed by Stephen Levinson in 2006.  1:10:30 – See the recent theme issue on ‘Revisiting the human “interaction engine”'. Dr. Rossano's contributions to the issue are here and here. 1:18:00 – Dr. Rossano's work on dogs has been done in coordination with the company FluentPet. FluentPet makes the pet-friendly buttons (aka soundboards) made famous by Bunny, the “talking dog of TikTok.” 1:23:30 – For an insider's view of what happened in the original “animal language” studies, see a paper by Irene Pepperberg here.  1:27:30 – A recent review by Dr. Rossano and colleagues about the use of “augmented interspecies communication devices” like the soundboards he and colleagues are currently studying.  1:38:30 – The “impossible task,” a widely used task in comparative psychology, was first described in 2009. 1:44:45 – A recent podcast discussed the “animal language” debates in detail. Dr. Rossano was featured on the show.    1:57:30 – A paper in which Charles Goodwin discussed the case of his father, Chil, is here.   Dr. Rossano recommends:  Sequence Organization in Interaction, by Emanuel Schegloff Lectures on Conversation, by Harvey Sacks Roots of Human Sociality, edited by Stephen Levison and Nick Enfield Origins of Human Communication, by Michael Tomasello   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.

Today we talk with Antone Martinho-Truswell, a biologist who studies learning and cognition in birds, and author of the just-released book entitled The Parrot in the Mirror: How Evolving to Be Like Birds Made Us Human. Our conversation today is about much more than birds. We as humans recognize the unique place birds occupy amongst animals, whether it is by putting an eagle on top of a flagpole or a raven on the dial of a watch, and we talk with Antone today to learn about the uncommon traits that birds and humans share, and what they teach us about what it means to be human. In our conversation, Antone describes the features that humans and birds share, how both of these groups converged on similar solutions to specific problems, some of the early studies on well-known organisms like the horse Clever Hans and Alex the parrot, and the incredible evidence of intelligence in birds like crows and parrots. Ultimately, these examples help us understand fundamental aspects of humanity, and some of those important life questions like why it is that when you tell your dog to sit, it isn't able to reply, “no, you sit.”

Epsilon Theory on Tape: Clever Hans by Ben Hunt

A fines del siglo XIX, el cuánto y cómo comprenden los animales era una discusión científica que permeaba la cultura popular. Existía la noción de que los animales podían ser más inteligentes de lo que pensamos. En ese contexto apareció la figura de “Clever Hans”, un caballo capaz de realizar operaciones matemáticas básicas. En este episodio, Andrés Kalawski y Paula Molina, nos traen la historia de Hans, el caballo matemático.

Maybe you never heard of him, but Jim the Wonder Dog was once the most famous dog in the USA. A Lewellin setter, he was insured for $100,000 and that was during the 1930's. A gun dog, Jim held the record for the most birds retrieved, but that's not what made Jim a Wonder Dog. Jim could correctly answer any question posed to him in any language, spoken or written. He could even understand Morse code. Eventually, he could also predict the future! He baffled all the experts, and mobsters threatened his life. How did he do it? And what do we know now that experts didn't know then? Listen to the amazing true story of America's favorite psychic dog.

We know that a lot of our communication happens not just through words, but through facial expressions, tone, and body language too. This can cause a researcher to unintentionally influence the person or animal they are examining. There are ways of getting around this-double blind studies are one way-where neither the researcher nor the subject knows if they are in a control or experimental group. But where did our understanding of subtle cues come from? Well, they came from a particularly clever horse. Clever Hans, a horse who took the media by storm in the early 1900s. Clever Hans was wowing the world with his ability to calculate numbers, identify musical tones, and ace any test thrown his way. His trainer, retired school teacher Wilhelm Van Osten, taught this horse as he would have a human child in front of a chalkboard and a counting machine in his backyard for years. Van Osten and the world truly believed Clever Hans was capable of extraordinary things. And he was…it just wasn't what they had all suspected. Little did they know, they were all being outsmarted by one clever horse. 

Hace más de 100 años, un caballo causó furor en Alemania: Hans resolvía correctamente operaciones matemáticas. Su «maestro» pretendía demostrar la inteligencia de los animales. Pero en realidad, lo que quedó demostrado fue otra cosa. ¿Qué te parece esta historia? Comparte tu punto de vista dejando un comentario.

This early-1900s horse appeared to be able to do math and other feats, and we learned a lot from him.
