Description
5 light brown, tan and cream colored barn owls, Tyto alba, are in flight through a brown leaf collage of many colors on a white background in this autumn forest nature mandala. While bobbing and weaving in flight, an owl has to make many decisions. Where and on what should it focus its attention and what options exist for action? Studies at Johns Hopkins University into how barn owls are able to focus their attention with ever changing scenarios are providing clues into brain wiring or “neuro-circuitry.” By first measuring the activity of and then providing a stimulus to select groups of “hearing” and “seeing” nerve cells in a barn owl’s forebrain, researchers were next able to direct the owl’s focus causing it to “pay closer attention” to varying levels of auditory and visual stimuli.
