Neuroscientists have discovered a feedback loop that modulates the receptivity of the auditory cortex to incoming acoustic signals when bats emit echolocation calls. The researchers show that ...

Vision is the predominant sense in humans, and we heavily rely on our sight for understanding our surroundings. As a result, image recognition-based technologies have been rapidly developed and are ...

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 ...

What can bats do for humans? They can teach them how to navigate without using their sight. Scientists found a way to help blind people improve their mobility by using echolocation. Follow us: ...

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 ...
