A new analysis of underwater videos shows octopuses are ‘incredible multitaskers’

Each minute of video took hours to analyze, Buresch said. All in all, the researchers cataloged 3,907 arm actions that required 6,871 arm deformations. The inventory of the animals’ arm movement could help researchers better understand the neural connections that allow octopuses to coordinate their arms to work in different combinations and to receive feedback from the environment. A mating …
