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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Despite considerable advances, studying electrocommunication of weakly electric fish,
particularly in pulse-type species, is challenging as very short signal epochs at variable …

In this article we address the issue of shape estimation using electric sense inspired by the
active electric fish. These fish can perceive their environment by measuring the …
