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

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.

Although beneficial evidence of echolocation training is mounting, Thaler’s study sample was relatively small, so larger-scale experiments could help reaffirm this study’s preliminary results.

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

“When we discovered that dolphins not exposed to the echolocation experiment could identify objects from recorded dolphin sounds with 92% accuracy, we began to look for a way for to see what was ...

Scientists in the U.K. conducted an experiment in which a group of sighted and blind people were given a 10-week course on how to echolocate.

Experiments show that the acoustic signature of plastic and prey is similar. That may confuse whales that use echolocation to hunt.

Sounding out a landscape The first step was to build a precise 3D map of the entire Hula Valley in Israel, where the experiment took place. “We started with an airplane fitted with Lidar. Then ...

According to the team, these experiments show that Kuhl’s pipistrelles can navigate over several feet using echolocation alone. When vision is available to them, they can enhance their ...

Echolocating bats have been found to possess an acoustic cognitive map of their home range, enabling them to navigate over kilometer-scale distances using echolocation alone. This finding was ...

The ability of "target tracking", i.e., keeping a target object in sight, is essential for various activities and has improved in animals and machines through the evolution of life and ...

In a study recently published, the team led by Wetekam and Kössl repeated the experiments with natural communication and echolocation calls. “With our study, we wanted to find out what happens in ...
