Description: Neuroscientist Cindy Moss is investigating how animals use sensory information to guide their behavior. Her team at Johns Hopkins University's "Batlab" is currently focused on bat echolocation -- high frequency sonar calls a bat uses to determine the location of objects in its environment. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the group aims to better understand how these highly-specialized creatures perceive and navigate their world, and in turn, learn more about how humans do it.
