The image of a rapidly approaching object has to elicit a quick response. An animal needs to
know that the object is approaching on a collision course and how imminent a collision is …

Accurately detecting a potential collision and triggering a timely escape response is critical
in the field of robotics and autonomous vehicle safety. The lobula giant movement detector …

Motion perception is a critical capability determining a variety of aspects of insects' life,
including avoiding predators, foraging, and so forth. A good number of motion detectors …

Signal transduction through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) originates from their intracellular
Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain, which binds to MyD88, a common adaptor protein …

Perceiving in Depth is a sequel to Binocular Vision and Stereopsis and to Seeing in Depth,
both by Ian P. Howard and Brian J. Rogers. This three-volume work is much broader in …

Multiplicative operations are important in sensory processing,,,,, but their biophysical
implementation remains largely unknown,,,,,. We investigated an identified neuron (the …

Detecting a potential collision at night is a challenging task owing to the lack of discernible
features that can be extracted from the available visual stimuli. To alert the driver or …

Behavioral responses to looming stimuli have been studied in many vertebrate and
invertebrate species, but neurons sensitive to looming have been investigated in very few …

The lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) system in the locust responds selectively to
objects approaching the animal on a collision course. In earlier work we have presented a …

Autonomously sensing collision threats in intelligent mobile machines is a significant
challenge. Inspired by the perfect collision sensing system of locusts, various neural …
