Echolocating bats accumulate information from acoustic snapshots to predict auditory object motion
Unlike other predators that use vision as their primary sensory system, bats compute the
three-dimensional (3D) position of flying insects from discrete echo snapshots, which raises …

Temporal tuning in the bat auditory cortex is sharper when studied with natural echolocation sequences
MJ Beetz, JC Hechavarría, M Kössl - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Precise temporal coding is necessary for proper acoustic analysis. However, at cortical level,
forward suppression appears to limit the ability of neurons to extract temporal information …
