The Detection of Electric Fields from Electric Organs

In the preceding chapter some aspects of the biological role of electroreception are discussed that depend on signals arising from other organisms and from inanimate sources. In the present chapter we consider the reception of signals from electric organs, both from the same individual and from others.
