People think bats are blind. They actually have better vision than us, especially at night.
You’ve probably heard the saying “as blind as a bat,” right? It’s been repeated for centuries, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. Most bats can see just fine—and some even see better than we ...
The same technology that enables soldiers to see in the dark can also help protect birds and bats near offshore wind turbines. Night vision goggles use thermal imaging, which captures infrared light ...
An array of touch sensors on bat wings may have helped these little insect eaters become the agile masters of the night sky that they are. According to findings published in Cell Reports this week, ...
The hippocampus is important for declarative and spatial memories 1,2 and has been suggested to hold a 'cognitive map' of the environment 1. This notion is supported by the existence of place cells, ...
Inspired by bats’ use of echolocation, researchers have developed smart glasses that transform visual information into unique sound representations that enhance the ability of blind and ...
ThermalTracker software analyzes video with night vision, the same technology that helps soldiers see in the dark, to help birds and bats near offshore wind turbines. The same technology that enables ...
