DESCRIPTION:Animals face continuous trade-offs when sensing their environm
 ent\, processing sensory information\, and transforming sensory inputs int
 o behavioural outputs. These trade-offs often vary depending on the behavi
 oural context\, with some behaviours requiring high speed and low informat
 ion content - such as gaze stabilisation - while others can take place ove
 r longer timescales but integrate more sensory channels - e.g. object iden
 tification and quality assessment. Many marine and intertidal species have
  access to intensity\, colour and polarization-based visual information\, 
 but not all are used for every task. In this seminar\, I will explore how 
 crabs and cuttlefish deploy their visual systems to optimise visual proces
 sing and cope with visual problems such as dynamic illumination.
