Many insect families have evolved to produce and detect complex singing patterns for the purposes of mating, display of dominance, predator escape, and other needs. While the mechanisms of sound production by insects have been thoroughly studied, man-machine exploitation of such mechanisms has remained unreported. We therefore describe a method to modulate the frequency spectrum in the chirp call of a singing insect, Gampsocleis gratiosa (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), a large katydid indigenous to China and commonly known as Guo Guo or Chinese Bush Cricket. The chirp modulation was achieved through the contact of a ribbon of lonic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) against wing of the insect. The IPMC effectively served as an actuator when a small DC voltage was applied to the ribbon's faces. By applying a sequential on/off voltage waveform to the IPMC ribbon, the katydid's chirp was modulated in a corresponding manner. This configuration can be used as part of a broader application of using singing insects to harness their acoustic power to produce and propagate machine-induced messages into the acoustic environment. 相似文献

昆明小鼠下丘神经元对调频声的反应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
尽管昆明小鼠下丘神经元对纯音的反应已有深入研究,但其对调频声的反应情况却未见报道。本研究在自由声场条件下,采用单单位细胞外记录方法,观察了昆明小鼠下丘神经元对调频声刺激的反应情况。根据神经元对调频声及纯音反应的阈值差异,所记录的99个下丘神经元可分为三种类型:对调频声刺激反应的阈值低于纯音的为Ⅰ型(57/99,57.6%),二者阈值相当的为Ⅱ型(12/99,12.1%),而纯音阈值低于调频声的为Ⅲ型(30/99,30.3%)。与Ⅲ型神经元相比,Ⅰ型神经元具有较低的CF和Q20dB(P<0.05和P<0.001)和较高的RB20dB(P<0.05)。通过分析下丘神经元对上、下扫时发放数的差异,发现有36个(36/99,36.4%)神经元表现出方向选择性,其中22个(22/99,22.2%)为上扫敏感,其余14个(14/99,14.2%)为下扫敏感,且上扫敏感性神经元比下扫敏感性神经元在Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ型神经元中有更广的分布范围。通过比较发现,Ⅰ型神经元和方向选择性神经元的特征频率都非常集中地分布在10kHz-20kHz范围内(77.2%和83.3%)。此外,对其中24个神经元采取了不同调制速度的调频声刺激,大多数(15/24,62.5%)神经元对快调频声反应最为敏感,并且随着调制速度的升高,方向选择性神经元的比例有下降趋势(45.8%vs41.7%vs33.3%)。上述结果提示,昆明小鼠下丘神经元能有效处理调频声刺激,且具有方向选择性的调频声在昆明小鼠的声通讯中占有重要地位。 相似文献
