Sinossi

Moth Night Vision explores the fascinating adaptations that allow moths to thrive in darkness. Far from a diminished form of daytime sight, moth night vision is a highly specialized sensory system. The book investigates how these nocturnal insects navigate, find food, and evade predators in low-light conditions. By delving into the intricate biological structures of moth eyes and the neural processes that interpret faint light signals, the book shows how moths use structural adaptations and neural processing strategies to see in the dark. The book examines the ecological implications of moth night vision, highlighting its role in pollination and nocturnal ecosystems. It reveals how the arrangement of ommatidia and photoreceptor cells contribute to their unique vision. Presenting a balanced overview, Moth Night Vision connects these biological insights to potential applications in robotics and materials science. Organized into four parts, the book begins with an overview of insect vision and moth biology before exploring structural adaptations, neural mechanisms, and ecological implications. It draws on anatomical studies, electrophysiological recordings, and behavioral experiments to support its arguments. This integrated approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how moths have adapted to nocturnal life, making it valuable for students, researchers, and anyone interested in insects, vision, or evolutionary biology.

Free Agents - How Evolution Gave...

Kevin J. Mitchell

This audiobook narrated by neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents an evolutionary case for the existence of free will

Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion. In Free Agents, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence to the contrary, arguing that we are not mere machines responding to physical forces but agents acting with purpose.

Traversing billions of years of evolution, Mitchell tells the remarkable story of how living beings capable of choice emerged from lifeless matter. He explains how the emergence of nervous systems provided a means to learn about the world, granting sentient animals the capacity to model, predict, and simulate. Mitchell reveals how these faculties reached their peak in humans with our abilities to imagine and to be introspective, to reason in the moment, and to shape our possible futures through the exercise of our individual agency. Mitchell's argument has important implications—for how we understand decision making, for how our individual agency can be enhanced or infringed, for how we think about collective agency in the face of global crises, and for how we consider the limitations and future of artificial intelligence.

An astonishing journey of discovery, Free Agents offers a new framework for understanding how, across a billion years of Earth history, life evolved the power to choose and why this matters.
