Humans can learn echolocation in just 10 weeks, experiment shows Image source: corbacserdar / Adobe. The researchers published a paper with their findings in PLOS One.

SpiderBot experiments hint at “echolocation” to locate prey Experiments with robotic spiders and prey suggest spiders can detect differences in natural web frequencies.

Blind humans have been known to use echolocation to "see" their environment, but even sighted people can learn the skill, a new study finds. IE 11 is not supported.

In the researchers’ experiment, a dolphin named Amaya directed her echolocation sounds at submerged diver Jim McDonough, who swam without a breathing apparatus so no air bubbles would interfere ...

But in the echolocation experiment, both leading and lagging sounds were perceived equally well, suggesting the echo suppression diminished during echolocation.

What animals use echolocation? Of the echolocating critters, bats and toothed whales like dolphins are the all-stars. Dolphins are able to detect objects more than 300 feet away, and can even tell ...

Many echolocation experiments have shown that the skill can be accomplished with sounds emitted by sources other than the echolocator. This makes it unlikely that comparisons between emitted and ...

Despite these limitations, Kuhl's pipistrelle bats can navigate several kilometers using echolocation alone, as shown by experiments where nearly 100 bats were relocated three kilometers away from ...

Fortunately, the species of bat used in these experiments changes its echolocation sounds as it gets closer to an object. So by tracking the noises the bats make as they approach an object, ...

Echolocation, for those of you who ... “When we discovered that dolphins not exposed to the echolocation experiment could identify objects from recorded dolphin sounds with 92% accuracy, ...

In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the team describes experiments with volunteers they undertook to understand how humans process echo sounds and results obtained in ...
