... systems. Although color did not seem to be critical for object recognition in this study, mantis shrimp are likely to favor color discrimination for other specific tasks. Many mantis shrimp have colorful body surfaces, some of which are used for signaling ( Caldwell and Dingle, 1975 ; Hazlett, 1979...

..., three-dimensional (3-D) object recognition is influenced by the observation angle. Visually, object analysis and recognition is aided by translating an object's shape from different viewpoints ( Logothetis and Sheinberg, 1996 ); e.g. humans and monkeys recognize objects viewed from angles never...

The current study is the first to quantify the magnitude of multisensory enhancement across these mechanosensory and electrosensory systems during moving-object recognition. We used the novelty response of a pulse-type weakly electric fish...
