On the Role of Echosignal Temporal Microstructure in Mechanisms of Classification of Small-Size Targets by Dolphins Tursiops truncatus

摘要

This work describes results of comparative analysis of the temporary structure of echosig-nals from spherical targets during their attestation by synthesized signals simulating dolphin's signals and of efficiency of the conditioned reflex recognition by the bottle-nosed dolphin of classes of these targets made of the same material.A possible mechanism underlying classification of targets by dolphin is considered to be difference of the temporal microintervals in the structure of the secondary echo of the reflected signal.
