Biologically Inspired Approaches to Overcome Mutual-Interference by Active Sensor Systems
Abstract
This project aims to understand the sensory and sensorimotor processes that enable agile, high-speed maneuvering and complex spatial navigation in echolocating bats and dolphins. This project will be comprised of two phases: a field phase investigating swarming acoustics in Mexican free-tailed bats, and a laboratory phase investigating adaptations to jamming signals in individual bottlenose dolphins. The objectives of phase one include experiments and analysis to inestigate: adaptive time-frequency signatures and waveform diversity in echolocation signals for different flight behaviors; how bats address Doppler compensation of echolocation signals when returning from high-speed flight; how bats overcome mutual-interference. Phase two will be an invetigation of how individual dolphins adjust their echolocation clicks while in the presence of jamming conspecific signals
