[Kripthor] suspected that hunters were getting too near his house. When thinking of a way to quantify this belief he set out to build a triangulation system based on the sound of gunshots. The theory ...

Researchers have recently shown that blind echolocation experts use what is normally the "visual" part of their brain to process the clicks and echoes. The study is the first to investigate the neural ...

Most of us associate echolocation with bats. These amazing creatures are able to chirp at frequencies beyond the limit of our hearing, and they use the reflected sound to map the world around them. It ...

(Medical Xpress)—A trio of German researchers has found that human beings listening to sounds that have a corresponding echo, process the sounds differently depending on whether they are using echo ...

(Phys.org)—A pair of researchers with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany has found that echolocation in humans involves more than just the ears. In their paper published in the journal ...

The call that comes back as a map A bat leaving its roost at dusk emits ultrasound pulses at frequencies between 20 and 200 ...

Scientists have shown that human beings can develop echolocation, the system of acoustic signals used by dolphins and bats to explore their surroundings. Producing certain kinds of tongue clicks helps ...

The satellite-based global positioning system has revolutionised the way humans interact with our planet. But a serious weakness is that GPS doesn’t work indoors. Consequently, researchers and ...
