According to a new study, we may have been thinking about dolphins’ echolocation all wrong. Rather than using it to “see” the ...

We typically imagine echolocation as “seeing” with sound—experiencing auditory signals as a world of images like the ones our ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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, ...

Specifically, she says there's an obvious next experiment to really nail down what's happening — "to show that if a bat is attacking one of these tiger beetles in flight and they produce the ...

Additional experiments involving vocalization analysis and a kind of CT scan suggested that toothed whales likely have separate vocal registers that generate their numerous sounds, just like we do.
