Automation of experimental setups is a promising direction in behavioral research because it can facilitate the acquisition of data while increasing its repeatability and reliability. For example, research in spatial cognition can benefit from automated control by systematic manipulation of sensory cues and more efficient execution of training proc...
Synopsis
A way in which animals can control or select the sensory information they obtain depends on context-specific modulations of their behavior that change their sensory input. When this is done purposively it is considered as an active sensing strategy. In this chapter we focus on weakly electric fish as an example for active sensory systems,...
In the developing brain training-induced emergence of direction selectivity and plasticity of orientation tuning appear to be widespread phenomena. These are found in the visual pathway across different classes of vertebrates. Moreover, short-term plasticity of orientation tuning in the adult brain has been demonstrated in several species of mammal...
