Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Understanding the neural basis of animal behaviour requires a thorough description of the associated sensory inputs. This is especially important when behaviour actively shapes incoming sensory information. Weakly electric fish use perturbations in a self-generated electric field as a basis for an electric sense, and these field perturbations are encoded by electroreceptors distributed over their bodies. Thus, swimming movements and body pose shape not only the field but also the orientation of the receptor array. Previous modelling in this context has focused primarily on the so-called electric image in stationary fish and has not addressed how natural electrosensory inputs are generated in freely swimming fish. Here, we present fish2eod, an open-source finite-element-based modelling framework that describes the dynamics of electrosensory inputs during natural behaviours, including social interactions, in complex environments.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
