Palomas que detectan CÁNCER??

The video discusses a study where US scientists trained pigeons to detect cancerous tumors in biopsy images. Pigeons were shown images of malignant and benign tumors and rewarded for correct identification. Individually, pigeons achieved 80% accuracy, but collectively, their accuracy reached 99%. This study highlights pigeons' ability to recognize patterns in images, a task that typically requires extensive training for humans.
