La conscience des animaux
Open accessAbstract
Can animals experience emotions? Do they have a life story? The INRA addressed these questions by performing a collective scientific assessment of animal consciousness. This multidisciplinary evaluation, in which a vast body of behavioral, cognitive and neurobiological studies is analyzed, tends to show the existence of conscious thought processes in animals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
