Vsebina:

Content (Syllabus outline):

Tematike, vključene v učni načrt:
- sporazumevanje in vedenje žuželk,
- povezava ter odnos med okoljem in sporazumevanjem,
- senzorični mehanizmi in receptorji,
- primeri procesiranja senzorične informacije iz okolja v nevronskih mrežah v centralnem živčnem sistemu, ki so podlaga za vedenje žuželk.

Topics included in the course syllabus:
- insect communication and behaviour,
- connection and relation between environment and communication,
- sensory systems and receptors,
- case studies on processing of sensory information obtained from environment in the central nervous system neuronal networks underlying insect behaviour.

Cilji in kompetence:

Objectives and competences:

Cilji:
- razumevanje kompleksnega pristopa k raziskavam komunikacije žuželk, ki je idealen model za študij nevronskih mrež,
- razumevanje pomena povezave med specifičnim okoljem in vedenjem živali v njem,
- usposobljenost za raziskovalno delo na nivoju, da bo študent konkurenčen tako v Sloveniji kot v tujini.

Kompetence:
- sposobnost komunikacije z raziskovalci na področju robotike, nevronskih mrež, prepoznavanja govora, nevroetologije, agronomije.

Objectives:
- understanding a complex approach to studies of insect communication which is an ideal model to investigate neuronal networks,
- understanding the significance of relation between the specific environment and animal behaviour,
- qualify the students for an independent research at the level they will be competitive not only in Slovenia, but also abroad.

Competences:
- ability to interact with researchers in the fields of robotics, neuronal networks, speech recognition, neuroethology, agriculture.
