- Title
Echolocation: a personal historical perspective.
- Authors
Grinnell, Alan D.
- Abstract
The remarkable ability of echolocating bats to use echoes of emitted sounds as a substitute for vision is one of the most fascinating stories in neuroethology. Based in part on personal experience, the author discusses key discoveries in the early decades after the discovery of the phenomenon by Griffin and Galambos in 1941. Advances in our understanding of this remarkable phenomenon illustrate well the importance of comparative approaches, technological advances, and the synergistic interaction between behavior and electrophysiology.
