Guiana Dolphins Can Use Electric Signals to Locate Prey 2011-07-27T00:03:00Z Using this device, Galambos and Griffin proved conclusively that bats used echolocation. What bats, bombs, and sharks taught us about hearing [Video] 2011-06-14T12:15:00.407Z Much of Daniel Kish's work is focused on training children - some as young as toddlers - to gain confidence and independence by using a long cane together with echolocation. Using echoes to navigate the world 2012-09-10T11:56:44Z Some bats with poor eyesight depend on echolocation to navigate. The Blind Use The Visual Cortex To Process Sound 2011-05-28T16:15:02.217Z Dr Lore Thaler, from University of Western Ontario, said: "This suggests that visual brain areas play an important role for echolocation in blind people." Human brain's 'bat sight' found 2011-05-26T08:09:29Z "We have been so impressed by hearing and echolocation that we've ignored other, possible sensory systems in cetaceans," he says. Guiana Dolphins Can Use Electric Signals to Locate Prey 2011-07-27T00:03:00Z The study, which was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, aimed to test the theory that some bats' style of echolocation is better suited to hunting flying insects than others. Robotic moth offers bat-nav clue 2011-03-10T12:05:02Z To understand auditory brain function, bats are especially interesting animals to study because they process sound through echolocation, which is a kind of biological sonar. Bat Brains Offer Clues As to How We Focus on Some Sounds and Not Others 2010-11-16T16:22:00Z “The Navy salivates when it thinks about dolphin echolocation,” she said. Save a Whale, Save a Soul, Goes the Cry 2010-06-26T19:29:00Z This research into brain activity and echolocation is very interesting and improves our understanding of how some visually impaired people may be processing information to help them navigate safely. Human brain's 'bat sight' found 2011-05-26T08:09:29Z Critical to echolocation are tiny hairs in the inner ear that move in response to sound. 2010-01-26T13:41:00Z Researchers looked at two patients who use echolocation every day. Human brain's 'bat sight' found 2011-05-26T08:09:29Z In this study, Queenan and her colleagues presented different combinations of echolocation sounds with various communication sounds to awake bats to see how neurons in the bat brains were dealing with this incredible cacophony. Bat Brains Offer Clues As to How We Focus on Some Sounds and Not Others 2010-11-16T16:22:00Z It was this revelation that initiated the study of prestin's role in echolocation. 2010-01-26T13:41:00Z |
