Neural Systems and Behavior

We study how animals sense, process, and respond to the world around them, with a focus on acoustic communication and the neural mechanisms that make it possible. Our work integrates behavioral experiments, neurophysiology, and evolutionary biology to understand how sensory systems evolve under ecological pressures. By combining fieldwork, laboratory studies, and comparative approaches, we explore questions such as: How do animals recognize and locate sound sources in complex environments? How do sensory systems adapt to changing communication signals? And how does an organism’s internal state shape perception and decision-making?
