Wingbeat-Call Asynchrony Simulation and Theory

This repository provides the full simulation code, analysis scripts, and supporting functions used in the study of Temporal Precision built on the Responsivity Framework in echolocating bats. It contains modules to explore the temporal dynamics of sonar call timing, wingbeat coordination, and sensory feedback loops in echolocating animals.

This code supports the following manuscripts:

  1. Biosonar Responsivity Sets the Stage for the Terminal Buzz
  2. Temporal Precision Necessitates Wingbeat-Call Asynchrony in Actively Echolocating Bats
  3. Swarm Cohesion in Bats Emerges from Stable Temporal Loops

📁 Repository Structure

/src

Core functions for signal generation, propagation modelling, and acoustic analysis:

  • simulateEcholocationWings.m – primary simulation engine for sonar–wingbeat coupling
  • generateVirtualBatCall.m – generates frequency-modulated bat calls
  • airAttenuationFilter.m, calculateTargetStrength.m, calculateGeometricAttenuation.m, etc. – physical modelling of sound propagation
  • formatLatex*.m – visual formatting for plots with LaTeX labels

/mat

Simulation entry points and experiments scripts:

  • wingbeat_sim.m, wingbeat_sim_loop.m – test cases and multi-run simulations for wingbeat–call synchrony
  • sim_rand_var_run.m – Monte Carlo simulations with randomly sampled biological parameters
  • ssg_demo.m – sonar sound group simulation demo
  • supplementary_analysis.m – statistical and graphical analyses for paper figures
  • temporal_integrity.m – analysis of call–echo timing fidelity

/results

Folder to store figures, .mat files and output summaries from simulations and data processing.

/data

Contains field recordings and/or preprocessed metrics, where applicable.

/doc

Documentation, paper manuscripts, and supporting LaTeX or exportable figures.
