Abstract Synopsis

  • The study combines acoustic simulation and behavioral experiments to reproduce and analyze how bats perceive their environment through echolocation, addressing the technical difficulty of measuring all echoes during flight.
  • Researchers visualized the spatiotemporal distribution of echoes detected by bats, discovering that bats tend to focus on obstacle edges, and their flight turns correlate with the direction of echoes received.
  • The findings show that echoes influence bat navigation and attention, and the study provides new insights into how echo space impacts echolocation behavior by using simulated echoes in complex obstacle environments.]
