Echolocation
Abstract
Because we rely largely on vision to perceive the world, we find it difficult to comprehend the challenges faced by organisms that use other senses for perception. Such challenges are especially acute for our understanding of echolocation - the production of sound by animals and the subsequent determination of the position (and other features) of objects from information encoded in acoustic reflections.
