The Primatar: a virtual macaque head

Realistic virtual stimuli are of increasing interest in studies of primate cognition. In the current project, we describe the development of a new virtual monkey head with realistic facial features for experiments with nonhuman primates, the “Primatar”. We report first steps toward validation by assessing how long-tailed macaques and Rhesus macaques respond to the Primatar in their gaze behavior.
