I'm assuming it's trying to listen to the music in the headset? I don't really see dogs tilt their heads like that unless they are trying to listen for something.
There's a book called "The Master and his Emissary" by Iain McGilchrist that talks about the different functions of the brain hemispheres. Creatures will survey an item using different eyes to use the different hemisphere's of the brain. VERY broadly speaking one is more detail oriented and the other is more holistic according to him. I wonder if this is us watching that in action as the dog tries to work out WTF is going on.
I'd read somewhere that due to the position of the ears on their head and the fact that they often hunt small prey, the head tilt is a way of placing the ears on two different planes so as to better pinpoint the source of sounds.
Yeah that probably makes more sense with the ears being pricked up and all. Not sure how that's going to help the little guy work out what's going on here though bless him!
