Echolocation

The findings emerged by scientists who were studying how bats produce high frequency sounds for echolocation.

A new research has found that echolocation services work drastically better when a target is detected from sideways than when the echoes are coming from straight ahead. The researchers have noticed that human echolocators are better at localising a target from 45° off to the side as compared to identifying a target from straight ahead at 0°.

Scientists have outlined key elements needed for the processing of massive bio-acoustic data of sperm whales. Researchers say that the past decade witnessed a ground-breaking rise of machine learning for human language analysis, and recent research has shown the promise that such tools may also be used for analysing acoustic communication in nonhum...

New research shows that anyone can learn to use their hearing to understand the layout of objects around them though younger people seem to have a slight advantage. Participants in the study with vision loss also said it had a positive effect on their mobility, independence, and wellbeing.

New York: Researchers are exploring insights into the ability of visually impaired people to use echoes from a cane or other sounds to navigate safely — known as echolocation — to help people who lose eyesight later in life. People who become visually impaired early in life often learn to use echolocation more efficiently. But for individuals ...

Called expert echolocators, these people have material-related signals activate a region of the brain called the parahippocampal cortex (PHC).

All's fair in love and war - and also in mid-air bug hunting, if you're a bat.

Actor Vikram's role in upcoming Tamil action film Thaandavam is inspired from Daniel Kish, a blind American expert in human echolocation.
