How and why stomatopods have the worlds most remarkable visual system and what we can learn from it
Abstract
The focus of this proposed research program is to develop an understanding of nature’s most complex vision system in three new ways. Built on the foundations we have laid down with previous AFOSR funding (see above), we will now discover not only why polarization information is used and when it is important, but how it is processed for different behavioral tasks. We will then go on to develop this new knowledge into fundamentally useful synthetic vision systems.This research will continue the extraordinarily successful collaboration between four world-class laboratories. What is unique in this effort is that our team provides world-leading expertise in complimentary areas of research including: molecular genetics and cell biology to behavior, advanced imaging and spectral/polarization analysis of scenes and living organisms, optics and optoelectronics, and fabrication of nanodevices, photosensors, and real-time analytical systems.
