Funded Activity Summary
Target detection in three-dimensional optic flow. This project aims to understand the behavioural, neural, and computational mechanisms underlying the visualisation of moving targets. Insects have poorer eyesight and smaller brains than humans, but can chase small targets at high speed. This project will use intracellular electrophysiology, information content analysis and model development to decipher the underlying neural tuning mechanisms of hoverflies, which could suggest advanced computational optimisation and miniaturisation. The project may generate algorithms for rapid and reliable information extraction from large, noisy inputs, useful for developing unmanned vehicles and in Big Data analysis. The results could be useful in developing anti-collision control systems in vehicles using less computational power.Funded Activity Details
