Reconstructing the Acoustic Signal of a Sound Source: What Did the Bat Say?
When attempting to model and understand bat biosonar behaviour, it would be very useful to know exactly what calls the bat emits, that is, what it really says, in the course of its exploration of the world. Ca...

Modifying Directionality through Auditory System Scaling in a Robotic Lizard
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is strongly directional. This directionality is created by acoustical coupling of the two eardrums and is strongly dependent on characteristics of the middle ear, suc...
