Electric and Near-field Acoustic Detection, A Monograph
Abstract
LONG TERM GOALS. To complete and fully document my long-term ONR studies on the weak-electric sense of sharks and rays, and on the low-frequency acoustic sense of fish in general. My mathematical physics approach has led to several new lines of basic research concerning two major sensory systems. In the years to come, I wish to bring my ONR effort to its full potential and share the results with the Biology, Physics, and Engineering communities. OBJECTIVES. To publish a monographic text on the electromagnetic and low-frequency acoustic sensory systems of aquatic animals. The text shall introduce the mathematical-physics and sensory-biology prerequisites needed, present my theories and their experimental verification, critically discuss the relevant literature, and spell out future lines of research. This work is supported by ONR Biological Oceanography and Biological Science & Technology.
