Nesslistened for bats on my walk home tonight. A hoary bat was flying around. See brief recording, slowed down (and then I fast forward between each). Their echolocation pulses are the bright colors you are seeing at 18–20kHz.<a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/bats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bats</a> <a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/HoaryBat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HoaryBat</a> <a href="https://counterforce.social/tags/echolocation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#echolocation</a>

ScienceActuallySperm whales have two nostrils, but unlike most animals, they are asymmetrically positioned. The left nostril is visible on the outside and forms the single blowhole used for breathing. The right nostril is hidden inside the whale’s massive head and is actually part of its complex echolocation system.Thanks for sharing, The Guernsey Scientist !<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sciencefacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sciencefacts</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/spermwhale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spermwhale</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/spermwhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spermwhales</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nostril" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nostril</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/echolocation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#echolocation</a>

Charlotte Joanne🐦 Exciting News! 🐦 New research from Durham University shows how both sighted and blind people can train their brains to echolocate using sound echoes, just like bats and dolphins! 🦇🐬 Over 10 weeks, 12 blind and 14 sighted participants learned echolocation through click-based training. The results? MRI scans revealed that their brains adapted in similar ways, reorganizing the primary visual cortex to process sound echoes! 🧠🔍 This groundbreaking study proves that our brains are incredibly adaptable, no matter our sensory abilities. 🌟 This offers new hope for those with progressive vision loss, demonstrating that with practice, we can develop new ways to navigate our surroundings. 🌍✨ Kudos to the amazing researchers, Dr. Lore Thaler and Dr. Liam Norman, for leading this innovative study.
