Goal-directed behavior in most cases is composed of a sequential order of elementary motor
patterns shaped by sensorimotor contingencies. The sensory information acquired thus is …

Animals possess senses which gather information from their environment. They can tune
into important aspects of this information and decide on the most appropriate response …

Motor patterns displayed during active electrosensory acquisition of information seem to be
an essential part of a sensory strategy by which weakly electric fish actively generate and …

The sensory input that an animal receives is directly linked to its motor activity. Behavior thus
enables animals to influence their sensory input, a concept referred to as active sensing …

The electric sense of electric fish is an alien sense to us for which we have no intuition.
Starting with Hans Lissmann's early studies in the 1950s, step-by-step we have gained more …

Electric fish are privileged animals for bio-inspiring man-built autonomous systems since
they have a multimodal sense that allows underwater navigation, object classification and …

Modeling the electric field and images in electric fish contributes to a better understanding of
the pre-receptor conditioning of electric images. Although the boundary element method has …

Weakly electric fish can perform complex cognitive tasks based on extracting information
from blurry electric images projected from their immediate environment onto their electro …

Perception and motor control traditionally are studied separately. However, motor activity
can serve as a scaffold to shape the sensory flow. This tight link between motor actions and …

The weakly electric fish Gnathonemus petersii can recognise objects using active
electrolocation. Here, we tested two aspects of object recognition; first whether shape …
