Curr Biol 18:R320-3. 2008
Lateralization of visual learning in the honeybeePinar Letzkus
ARC Centre for Excellence in Vision Science, Visual Sciences, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, GPO Box 475, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601, Australia
Biol Lett 4:16-8. 2008..Here, we investigate lateralization of another sensory modality, vision. By training honeybees on a modified version of a visual proboscis extension reflex task, we find that bees learn a colour stimulus better with their right eye...
Mimicking honeybee eyes with a 280 degrees field of view catadioptric imaging systemW Stürzl
Department of Neurobiology and Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University, Germany
Bioinspir Biomim 5:036002. 2010..It is also well suited for mobile robots, in particular on flying vehicles that need light-weight sensors...
Visual gaze control during peering flight manoeuvres in honeybeesNorbert Boeddeker
Lehrstuhl für Neurobiologie, Universitat Bielefeld, Postfach 10 01 31, 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 277:1209-17. 2010..This result shows that although gaze stabilization is driven by visual motion cues, it is limited by other mechanisms, such as the dorsal light response or gravity reception...
Rugged, obstruction-free, mirror-lens combination for panoramic imagingW Stürzl
Department of Neurobiology and Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University, P O Box 100131, 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Appl Opt 47:6070-8. 2008..The design produces a field of view of approximately 260 degrees with only a small separation of viewpoints. The shape of the enclosing Perspex is specifically designed in order to minimize internal reflections...
Steering a virtual blowfly: simulation of visual pursuitNorbert Boeddeker
Department of Neurobiology, Bielefeld University, PO Box 10 01 31, 33501 Bielefeld, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 270:1971-8. 2003..These two behavioural modes of the virtual fly emerge from the control system for flight steering without implementation of an explicit decision maker...
The fine structure of honeybee head and body yaw movements in a homing taskNorbert Boeddeker
Bielefeld University, Neurobiology and Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 277:1899-906. 2010..Between saccades, gaze stabilization leads to a behavioural elimination of rotational components from the optical flow pattern, which facilitates depth perception from motion parallax...
Chasing a dummy target: smooth pursuit and velocity control in male blowfliesNorbert Boeddeker
Fakultat fur Biologie, Universitat Bielefeld, Postfach 10 01 31, Germany
Proc Biol Sci 270:393-9. 2003..We conclude that for a comprehensive understanding of chasing control different time lags in the control systems of angular and forward velocity together with the impact of inertia on fly movements need to be taken into account...
Characterisation of a blowfly male-specific neuron using behaviourally generated visual stimuliChristine Trischler
Department of Neurobiology, Bielefeld University, Post Box 100131, 33501, Bielefeld, Germany
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol 193:559-72. 2007..Coherence analysis reveals that although retinal target size and position are in some way inherent in the responses of MLG1, we find no confirmation of the hypothesis that MLG1 encodes any of these parameters exclusively...
Goal seeking in honeybees: matching of optic flow snapshots?Laura Dittmar
Department of Neurobiology and Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University, 33615 Bielefeld, Germany
J Exp Biol 213:2913-23. 2010..This new matching scheme provides a robust strategy for navigation, as it depends primarily on the depth structure of the environment...
