Neuroscientists at Goethe University, Frankfurt have discovered a feedback loop that modulates the receptivity of the auditory cortex to incoming acoustic signals when bats emit echolocation calls. In ...

Bats exhibit remarkable sensory adaptations that enable them to navigate, forage and communicate in complex and cluttered environments. At the heart of their extraordinary capabilities lies ...

In recent years, the fascinating world of bat echolocation has captured the attention of scientists and technologists alike. By decoding these natural sonar abilities, AI researchers are unlocking new ...

Many species of bats use echolocation to avoid obstacles like tree branches and hunt small insects as they fly through the dark. But it turns out echolocation for bats is much more than just a ...

Scientists have found another piece in the puzzle of how echolocation evolved in bats, moving closer to solving a decades-long evolutionary mystery. All bats — apart from the fruit bats of the family ...

Most bats use echolocation to navigate and hunt, but some use their ears for another trick: eavesdropping. Hunt like a bat! How baby bats learn to eavesdrop on their next meal There are over 1400 ...

Aya Goldshtein, Omer Mazar, and Yossi Yovel have spent many evenings standing outside bat caves. Even so, seeing thousands of bats erupting out of a cave and flapping into the night, sometimes in ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Bats are well known for their ability to “see” with sound, using ...

Bats famously have an ultrasonic navigation system: they use their extremely sensitive hearing to orient themselves by emitting ultrasonic sounds and using the echoes that result to build up a picture ...
