Now, your dogs may very well be smarter than mine. But here's how I imagine a convo with my dogs would go.

- Let's go see what's on the other side of this door, friend, maybe there's food !!

Ok, friend, here you go. - opens door.

- Wow super cool, now let's go see what's on the other side of this door, friend, maybe there's food !!

If one were to go about translating brain waves from dogs to meaning, we'd run into a big problem immediately: vocabulary resolution.

What I mean by that is we'll have a very limited number of words to which a dog's brainwaves can be translated to since we aren't able to understand them beyond their basic instincts of food, survival, fear, affection towards their owner etc.

There is just no way to go past what we have already observed by their behavior since dogs can't talk or write.

I do wonder how animals think. Perhaps this resolution would also be the theoretical maximum?

Does your dog want to converse with you or anyone?
