Fruit flies shift their visual attention to compensate for fast optic flow during flight
Meeting Abstract 71-5 Saturday, Jan. 5 14:15 – 14:30 Fruit flies shift their visual attention to compensate for fast optic flow during flight. PALERMO, NA*; THEOBALD, JC; Florida International Universtiy, Miami; Florida International Universtiy, Miami npale005@fiu.edu Flying fruit flies must compensate for the visual limitations of their tiny compound eyes. Their small light-capturing aperatures admit little light, […]
