Revealing the invisible: new principles of vision in Australian animals

揭示看不见的事物：澳大利亚动物视觉的新原则。该项目旨在揭示大堡礁海洋生物的视觉系统如何接收和解释颜色和偏振信息，其中大部分是人眼看不见的。它的目的是利用这些数据来解决神经科学中的基本问题，并为受生物启发的相机设计和机器视觉解决方案提供信息。由此产生的新一代偏振相机将被用来描述最初启发他们的环境、动物和大脑的特征。这将有助于理解神经系统是如何传递信息的，并可能提高我们检测神经元和其他细胞功能障碍的能力。

Revealing the invisible: new principles of vision in Australian animals. This project aims to reveal how the visual systems of marine creatures from the Great Barrier Reef receive and interpret colour and polarisation information, much of which is invisible to the human eye. It aims to utilise this data to tackle fundamental questions in neuroscience and inform bio-inspired camera design and machine-vision solutions. The resulting new generation of polarisation cameras will be used to characterise the environments, animals and brains that inspired them in the first place. This will help the understanding of how nervous systems convey information and may improve our ability to detect dysfunction in neurons and other cells.
