The Mode Sensing Hypothesis

Abstract

The mode-sensing hypothesis (MSH) posits that insect sensorimotor systems are specifically matched to the natural modes of motion of the insects flight dynamics, which in turn are determined by the complex interaction of flight morphology, musculoskeletal output, and flight physics. The MSH Project seeks to validate this hypothesis through an interdisciplinary effort that combines theoretical, experimental and modeling approaches along with a comparative aspect across related dipteran fly species (hoverflies, blowflies, and fruit- flies).
