New model for gain control of signal intensity to object distance in echolocating bats.
Echolocating bats emit ultrasonic calls and listen for the returning echoes to orient and localize prey in darkness. The emitted source level, SL (estimated signal intensity 10 cm from the mouth), is adjusted dynamically from call to call in response to sensory feedback as bats approach objects. A logarithmic relationship of SL=20 log(10)(x), i.e. 6 dB output reduction per halving of distance, ...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Echo Perception and Cortical Representation in Echolocating Bats
Echolocating bats can identify three-dimensional objects exclusively through the analysis of acoustic echoes of their ultrasonic emissions. However, objects of the same structure can differ in size, and the auditory system must achieve a size-invariant, normalized object representation for reliable object recognition. This study describes both the behavioral classification and the cortical neur...
متن کاملSensorimotor Model of Obstacle Avoidance in Echolocating Bats
Bat echolocation is an ability consisting of many subtasks such as navigation, prey detection and object recognition. Understanding the echolocation capabilities of bats comes down to isolating the minimal set of acoustic cues needed to complete each task. For some tasks, the minimal cues have already been identified. However, while a number of possible cues have been suggested, little is known...

a direct impact on the information available to its acoustic imaging system. In turn, the bat’s perception of the echo scene guides its adjustments of the features of subsequent sonar vocalizations. Therefore, the bat’s adaptive sonar behavior can shed light on the fundamental processes that underlie auditory scene analysis by echolocation. Indeed, the bat’s active sonar behavior allows us to l...
متن کاملDynamics of jamming avoidance in echolocating bats.
Animals using active sensing systems such as echolocation or electrolocation may experience interference from the signals of neighbouring conspecifics, which can be offset by a jamming avoidance response (JAR). Here, we report JAR in one echolocating bat (Tadarida teniotis: Molossidae) but not in another (Taphozous perforatus: Emballonuridae) when both flew and foraged with conspecifics. In T. ...
