... range of electroreception, which is the primary sensory modality in electric fish (Caputi et al., 2008 ; Lissmann, 1958 ; von der Emde, 2006). Here, we provide evidence for the identification of the electric field emitted by its own species and for a principal role of the whole time course...

... a single parameter in the stimulus waveform. The finding of waveform distortion sensitivity is relevant because it may contribute to: (a) enhance electroreceptive range in the peripheral ‘electrosensory field’, (b) a better identification of living prey at the ‘foveal electrosensory field’ and (c) detect...
