Abstract
A combination of behavioural testing and robotic modelling was used to investigate the interaction between sound localisation (phonotaxis) and optomotor following in crickets. Three hypotheses describing simple interactions — summation, gain modulation and chaining — were eliminated, leaving efference copy as the most likely mechanism. A speculative but plausible model for predicting re-afference was implemented and evaluated on a robot.
