Description:
The purpose of this fish simulation is to establish an understanding of how emissions are generated by the real fish. Since humans do not have an electric sense, it is difficult to comprehend how fish electric fields “feel.” Alternative techniques, such as virtual reality, must be used to acquire some of that sensation. The results will help us understand how this fish uses phase and amplitude information from the electric organ discharge for electrolocation and communication.
