Abstract

This paper investigates the neural processes associated with bat sonar vocal production and their relationship with spatial orientation. The bat's heavy reliance on sound processing is reflected in specializations of auditory and motor neural structures. These specializations were utilized by investigating the mammalian superior colliculus (SC); a midbrain sensory motor nucleus mediating orienting behaviors in mammals, including vocal motor orienting. Behavioral and neurophysiological experiments were conducted in the insectivorous echolocating bat, Eptesicus Fuscus. Chronic neural recording techniques were specifically developed to study neuronal activity. Concise analysis on potential bio-inspired control strategy development and practical application are also addressed. © 2006 IEEE.
