Antennal Mechanics Bench

experimentNo. 0006categoryLabs & sensesrecordingpendingdataCC BY 4.0

Slow auditory envelopes or wind displacement are applied to annotated antennal afferents of the fly, and downstream responses are measured against a disconnected control.

Workstation still from Antennal Mechanics Bench

Recording pending publication. Follow along for the release.

Setup

  • Two flanking sound sources stand on either side of the fly.
  • Channels: antennal auditory input and antennal wind/gravity input.
  • Side both, left or right; amplitude 0–1.2; cameras Arena, Fly, Plan, Stimulus.

Measurement

  • Normalized positive drive to the annotated mechanosensory auditory or wind_gravity afferents.
  • Paired stimulus and disconnected branches with the same seed, recorded in 100 ms population bins.

Limitations

  • The 20 ms model step does not resolve an audio carrier; only a slow sound envelope is delivered.
  • Wind is a normalized displacement proxy, not calibrated antennal mechanics.
