| Abstract: | Reports that Ormia ochracea can behaviorally localize a salient sound source with a precision equal to that of humans. Measurement of auditory directional acuity; Details of how information is represented in the auditory system with hyperacute timecoding; Finding that nanoscale/microscale directional microphones patterned after the fly have the potential for highly accurate directional sensitivity, independent of their size; Mentions of coding strategy employed by the nervous system. |
