Abstract
A better understanding of the ways in which insects recognise visual patterns will be helpful both to neuroscientists and to workers in machine vision and robotics. It seems clear from current work that contextual cues play an important role in this process. We propose to combine simulation studies using artificially evolved neural networks with behavioural experiments on bumblebees to analyse more fully how contextual cues aid the recognition of patterns.
