This report results from a contract tasking Imperial College London as follows: The grantee will investigate the sensory mechanisms of gaze stabilization and flight control on insects (flies and locusts). The study aims at understanding the underlying biological design principles. The research includes techniques ranging from neurophysiology and neuroanatomy to quantitative behavioral observations complemented by analytical and numerical modeling. Focus is on multi-sensory integration (visual and mechanosensory information), biophysical mechanisms ...
