Spatiotemporal patterning of acoustic gaze in echolocating bats navigating gaps in clutter
iScience, 2021 Summary: We challenged four big brown bats to maneuver through abrupt turns in narrow corridors surrounded by dense acoustic clutter. We quantified bats' performance, sonar beam focus, and sensory acquisition rate.

Disproportionate Frequency Representation in the Inferior Colliculus of Doppler-Compensating Greater Horseshoe Bats. Evidence for an Acoustic Fovea [PDF]
, 1979 1. The inferior colliculus of 8 Greater Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinun) was systematically sampled with electrode penetrations covering the entire volume of the nucleus. The best frequencies and intensity thresholds for pure tones (Fig.

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 1, February 2026.Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.

Echolocation by the harbour porpoise: Life in coastal waters
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 The harbour porpoise is one of the smallest and most widely spread of all toothed whales. They are found abundantly in coastal waters all around the northern hemisphere.

Mouth-clicks used by blind expert human echolocators - signal description and model based signal synthesis. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Echolocation is the ability to use sound-echoes to infer spatial information about the environment. Some blind people have developed extraordinary proficiency in echolocation using mouth-clicks. The first step of human biosonar is the transmission (mouth

Torus bifurcations of large-scale swarms having range dependent communication delay
, 2020 Dynamical emergent patterns of swarms are now fairly well established in nature, and include flocking and rotational states. Recently, there has been great interest in engineering and physics to create artificial self-propelled agents that communicate ...

Biosonar performance of foraging beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2005 SUMMARYToothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) emit sound pulses to probe their surroundings by active echolocation. Non-invasive, acoustic Dtags were placed on deep-diving Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) to record their ultrasonic clicks and the returning echoes from prey items, providing a unique view on how a whale operates its ...

BiomimeticsIn this paper, we introduce SonoNERFs, a novel approach that adapts Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) to model and understand the echolocation process in bats, focusing on the challenges posed by acoustic data interpretation without phase information ...
