This project investigates how cephalopods, like cuttlefish, achieve camouflage through neural control of skin patterns. By analyzing the relationship between visual perception and skin output, it aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms of crypsis and its implications for neuroscience.
Cephalopod camouflage (or crypsis) is one of the most fascinating behaviors in the animal kingdom.
It is also very relevant for neuroscience, for many reasons.
First, the ability of cephalopods to escape detection by vertebrate predators or invertebrate prey indicates that the perception of textures must follow similar principles in most species; if they did not, crypsis would not be successful.
Because cephalopods and vertebrates diverged over 550 M years ago from a primitive common ancestor, t…
