Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering seminar

24 August 2005

'Small brains, smart minds: Vision, navigation and 'cognition' in honeybees', by Professor Madyam V. Srinivasan, Centre for Visual Sciences, Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University.

When: Tuesday 6 September, 1 pm
Where: Theatre S4, building 25, Clayton campus

Insects, in general, and honeybees in particular, perform remarkably well at seeing and perceiving the world and navigating effectively in it, despite possessing a brain that weighs less than a milligram and carries fewer than 0.01 per cent as many neurons as ours does. Working together with his colleagues, Professor Srinivasan has been trying to unravel the secrets of their success.
