Batlab studies echolocation to learn how animals "see" with sound - Science Nation

The video explores research at the Bat Lab at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on how bats use echolocation to navigate and process sensory information. With support from the National Science Foundation, neuroscientist Cynthia Moss and her team study bats to understand their navigation and behavior, drawing parallels to human sensory processing. The research involves training bats to track targets, providing insights into brain function and information processing. The findings contribute to broader neuroscience inquiries about mammalian nervous systems.
