3-Dimensional scene perception during active electrolocation in a weakly electric pulse fish

Weakly electric fish use active electrolocation for object detection and orientation in their environment even in complete darkness. The African mormyrid Gnathonemus petersii can detect object parameters, such as material, size, shape and distance. Here, we tested whether individuals of this species...
