The study is the first to detail how these bats turn echolocation signals into a 3-D image of moving prey and could provide practical tips for engineers. Wohlgemuth is in talks with researchers ...

Bats use a perceptual system called echolocation that allows them to produce high pitch sounds that bounce off nearby objects and living things. Humans can't normally hear these sounds ...

What matters is detecting the bat directly in front of you. That’s the one you’ll collide with if you’re not careful. So you change your echolocation in a way that gives you the best detail ...

GOLDSHTEIN: So when a bat emit an echolocation call, it wait to the reflected echo in order to get information about the object that is in front of it. And it can get information about the distance of ...

Many bats perceive their world mostly through echolocation: they emit a call and listen for the reflected echo, which in turn allows them to "see" what is around them. But if many bats are ...
