About this ebook
Bat Echo Masters explores the remarkable world of bat echolocation, revealing how these nocturnal creatures navigate and hunt in darkness. Bats use ultrasonic calls, essentially creating acoustic images by processing returning echoes. This book delves into the sensory biology behind this sophisticated system, highlighting how bats extract detailed information about their surroundings. One intriguing fact is that bats can discern the size, shape, and texture of objects using sound alone.
The book progresses logically from the fundamentals of sound and echolocation to the anatomy and physiology of bats' vocal and auditory systems. It then examines the diverse types of echolocation calls and the neural processing that allows bats to interpret echoes. A key focus is the complex neural computations involved in echo processing, offering a deeper understanding of the bat's sensory world compared to simple behavioral descriptions. This unique approach provides new perspectives on sensory processing and could inspire advancements in fields like robotics and assistive technologies.
