Data from 'Sensorimotor model of obstacle avoidance in echolocating bats'

The entry contains all data reported in the paper. Data are provided as MATLAB mat files. These can be read using MATLAB and other (free) software, including: R: https://www.r-project.org/ SciPy: http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/Reading_mat_files Each .mat file contains the data for a separate simulation: Experiment1.mat: randomly distributed reflectors in horizontal plane Experiment2.mat: randomly distributed reflectors in vertical plane Experiment3.mat: randomly distributed reflectors, 3D Experiment4.mat: torus setting Experiment7.mat: patch of fir forest Experiment8.mat: forest road Experiment9.mat: vertical wires Experiment10.mat: horizontal wires Experiment11.mat: randomly distributed reflectors in horizontal plane, for FM bat Experiment12.mat: randomly distributed reflectors in vertical plane, for FM bat The files contain the same entries. The relevant entries are the following: condition labels: the various conditions (i.e. controller variants) are encoded using the values in the arrays RD, EF, OA and CS. For example, for experiment1.mat these have following values below. RD = [0 0 1 2 0]; EF = [0 1 0 0 0]; OA = [0 0 0 0 0]; RF = [1 1 1 1 1]; CS = [0 0 0 0 1]; RD: a value of 1 in RD indicates controller random A, 2 indicates controller random B. EF: a value of 1 indicates the the fixed ear controller. OA: indicates the controller with the ears fixed of axis RF: indicates the phases of the reflections were randomized CS: indicates the controller with constrained elevation Hence, the 5 conditions/controllers simulated for the randomly distributed reflectors in horizontal plane are the Default controller (no random, no fixed ears, no constraints), Fixed Ear, Random A, Random B and Constrained controller, respectively. The controller types in the other .mat files can be decoded similarly. Batpositions is 4D matrix [simulation steps x dimension (x, y, z) x condition x replication]. This matrix contains the 3D positions for the simulated bat for all replications and controllers. Similarly, velocities, distances, reflectors contain the speed of the bat, the distance to the nearest reflector, the number of reflectors returning an echo > 0 dB, respectively. Worlds contains the 3D positions of the reflectors for each of the replications. Other variables are support variables used while running the simulations.
