The evolution of color vision in insects

AD Briscoe, L Chittka - Annual review of entomology, 2001 - annualreviews.org

vision. Phylogenetic and molecular analyses reveal that the basic bauplan, UV-blue-green …

[HTML][HTML] Motion detection in insect orientation and navigation

MV Srinivasan, M Poteser, K Kral - Vision research, 1999 - Elsevier
The visual systems of insects are exquisitely sensitive to motion. Over the past 40 years or

Neuromorphic sequence learning with an event camera on routes through vegetation

L Zhu, M Mangan, B Webb - Science Robotics, 2023 - science.org
For many robotics applications, it is desirable to have relatively low-power and efficient
onboard solutions. We took inspiration from insects, such as ants, that are capable of …

Natural scene statistics at the centre of gaze

P Reinagel, AM Zador - Network: Computation in Neural Systems, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
Early stages of visual processing may exploit the characteristic structure of natural visual
stimuli. This structure may differ from the intrinsic structure of natural scenes, because …

The remarkable visual capacities of nocturnal insects: vision at the limits with small eyes and tiny brains

EJ Warrant - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Nocturnal insects have evolved remarkable visual capacities, despite small eyes and tiny
brains. They can see colour, control flight and land, react to faint movements in their …

Modular use of peripheral input channels tunes motion-detecting circuitry

M Silies, DM Gohl, YE Fisher, L Freifeld, DA Clark… - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
In the visual system, peripheral processing circuits are often tuned to specific stimulus
features. How this selectivity arises and how these circuits are organized to inform specific …
