The vertebrate retina first evolved some 500 million years ago in ancestral marine
chordates. Since then, the eyes of different species have been tuned to best support their …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

In the quest for emerging in-sensor computing, materials that respond to optical stimuli in
conjunction with non-volatile phase transition are highly desired for realizing bioinspired …

Terrestrial organisms and ecosystems are being exposed to new and rapidly changing
combinations of solar UV radiation and other environmental factors because of ongoing …

To increase computational flexibility, the processing of sensory inputs changes with
behavioural context. In the visual system, active behavioural states characterized by motor …

To understand the function of colour signals in nature, we require robust quantitative
analytical frameworks to enable us to estimate how animal and plant colour patterns appear …

Animal eyes have evolved to process behaviorally important visual information, but how
retinas deal with statistical asymmetries in visual space remains poorly understood. Using …

In the eye, the function of same-type photoreceptors must be regionally adjusted to process
a highly asymmetrical natural visual world. Here, we show that UV cones in the larval …

Pressures for survival make sensory circuits adapted to a species' natural habitat and its
behavioral challenges. Thus, to advance our understanding of the visual system, it is …

Animal colour vision is based on comparing signals from different photoreceptors. It is
generally assumed that processing different spectral types of photoreceptor mainly serves …
