A new book ‘Supernavigators: Exploring the Wonders of How Animals Find Their Way’ by David Barrie was published in May 28, 2019.
In Supernavigators, award-winning author David Barrie takes us on a tour of the cutting-edge science of animal navigation…
UCL scientists have discovered the key brain region for navigating well-known places, helping explain why brain damage seen in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease can cause such severe disorientation.
Recent research indicates the hippocampus may code the distance to the …
In environments that contain discrete objects, animals are known to store information about distance and direction to those objects and to use this vector information to guide navigation. Theoretical studies have proposed that such vector operations are supported by …
The ‘Brains on Board’ project is a collaboration between several British universities in partnership with the Human Brain Project and seeks to ‘translate’ the brains of ants and bees into algorithms that a machine will understand. Its aim is …

NeuroSLAM: Neural Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Workshop
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (or SLAM) refers to the problem of constructing a map of an unknown environment as it is actively being explored. SLAM has been treated extensively in mobile robotics, providing …
Reliability and accuracy of navigation in flying drones are one of the key challenges that must be solved in autonomous applications. Accurate knowledge of position, attitude, and velocity is a critical input for drones operating in cluttered and challenging environments …
The note is an excerpt from the Shinder et al. 2019. We just describe some key conception and results in this study as a significant note. Please read the original paper if you are interested in the study on https://www.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/jn.00880.2017…
