DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Jenny Read\, Institute of Neuroscience\, Newcastle
  University\n\nTitle: Stereoscopic vision in insects\n\nHost: Dr. Robert H
 ess\n\nAbstract: People used to think stereoscopic “3D” vision was restric
 ted to a few “higher” mammals such as primates and cats. However\, we now 
 know it has evolved independently in several taxa\, including mammals\, bi
 rds\, amphibians and at least one insect: the praying mantis. Mantids are 
 the only invertebrates known to possess stereo vision\, so it’s particular
 ly interesting to understand how their stereo works and whether it is simi
 lar to our own. I will describe work from my lab suggesting that insect st
 ereo vision is quite fundamentally different from our own\, being based on
  second-order figure motion rather than luminance contrast.\n
