[Correlation model of object recognition by echolocating animals].
The model proposed in an attempt to find out physical bases of object perception during echolocation. It is shown that echolocational perception can be provided with correlational treatment of corresponding signals. The character of objects is determined by the comparison by echo probing accepted in the given cycle with typical distortions remembered in the course of individual experience of the animal. The distortions take place during the reflection of the probing impulse from these or those objects. "Binding" of the objects according to distance may be carried out by using the choice of typical distortions for corresponding correction of the copy of probing impulse, serving as a bearing signal of distance correlometer. The response of correlometer to the echo from correctly perceived target increases. The block-scheme of such correlation perception during echolocation is given. Performance of some experiments allowing to check and refine the model considered.
