Science Daily  July 20, 2022 Previous behavioral research on live sea lions showed that the whisker system and the animal’s neural processing is seemingly able to detect the Direction of Arrival (DoA) from just one side of the heads vibrissal pads. Therefore, temporal differences between whisker stimulation are a likely method for determining the angle. Researchers in the UK developed a theoretical model based on multilateration and tested by experimental studies on a 2D array of bio-inspired whiskers with regular spacing, and a 3D array of bio-inspired whiskers on a model head of a sea lion, as used in their […]
