Behind the eyes of a leech. How simple eyes encode complex image features that inform behavior
Biological Sciences Bldg East, Room 115Dept. of Biology Seminar Presented by Dr. John Jellies, Department of Biological Sciences, Western Michigan University Abstract: Using light to extract information about environments is widespread and beneficial for survival. Almost all animals have evolved specialized sensory capabilities to detect light and inform adaptive behaviors. Indeed, it has been estimated that eyes have evolved independently […]
