Motion perception is an essential ability for animals and artificially intelligent systems
interacting effectively, safely with surrounding objects and environments. Biological visual …

Nature benefits from a progressive evolution over millions of years, always adapting and
finding individual solutions for common problems. Hence, a pool of diverse and efficient …

Drawing from both enactivist and cognitivist perspectives on mind, I propose that explaining
teleological phenomena may require reappraising both “Cartesian theaters” and mental …

Internal predictions about the sensory consequences of self-motion, encoded by corollary
discharge, are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, including for fruit flies, dragonflies, and …

It is an engineer's dream to build a robot as competent as an insect at locomotion, directed
action, navigation, and survival in complex conditions. But as well as studying insects to …

Object-based attention describes the brain's capacity to prioritize one set of stimuli while
ignoring others. Human research suggests that the binding of diverse stimuli into one …

Small moving objects at far distance always occupy only one or a few pixels in image and
exhibit extremely limited visual features, which bring great challenges to motion detection …

Complex tasks like hunting moving prey in an unpredictable environment require high levels
of motor and sensory integration. An animal needs to detect and track suitable prey objects …

Aerial predators, such as the dragonfly, determine the position and movement of their prey
even when both are moving through complex, natural scenes. This task is likely supported …

The metamorphosis from zoea 5 (Z5) to megalopa (M) stage represents a critical transit in
the larval development of the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). This study …
