In this talk, I describe my research on how looming is encoded by the visual system to enable flies to identify and escape threats. I will also discuss how the fly visual system is able to compute object shapes and motion in general, and how the underlying neuronal architecture can support a broad range of visually guided natural behaviors.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Biological Sciences Seminar by Nathan Klapoetke, Ph.D."}],"uid":"27964","created_gmt":"2019-01-09 20:27:20","changed_gmt":"2019-01-17 19:37:15","author":"Jasmine Martin","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-01-24T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-01-24T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-01-24T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-01-24 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-01-24 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-01-24 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1275","name":"School of Biological Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"180122","name":"Nathan Klapoetke"},{"id":"170414","name":"Simon Sponberg"},{"id":"166892","name":"School of Biological Sciences Seminar"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jasmine.martin@biosci.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EJasmine Martin\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
