Social interaction is commonplace in a vast number of species, forming the basis for mating and selection. Vocal communication is often an important part in social interaction. In rodents, the most common laboratory animal in neuroscience, vocal communication is hard to study because many vocalizations are ultrasonic, and it is hard to assign each vocalization to one of the interaction partners. Dr. Bernhard Englitz and his lab developed a novel sound localization system which achieves a landmark improvement of accuracy, down to just a few millimetres.
