ARE SPATIAL FREQUENCY CUES USED FOR WHISKER-BASED ACTIVE DISCRIMINATION?
Rats are highly skilled in discriminating objects and textures by palpatory movements of their whiskers. If they used spatial frequency cues, they would be able to optimize performance in a stimulus dependent way - by moving their whisker faster or slower across the texture surface, thereby shifting...
