eSSENCE@LU 8:4 - Diving deeper than ever into dolphin echolocation

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) head tissues contribute to forming echolocation clicks into a forward-projected, collimated beam. This will be achieved through multi-physical three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Modelling (FEM) of the bottlenose dolphin head, based on unique in vivo computer tomography (CT) images of a trained bottlenose dolphin.
