Description:
(Neuroscientist) Robert Carl Galambos was an American neuroscientist known for his groundbreaking research on how bats utilize echolocation for navigation and the processing of sound in the brain. He conducted experiments on bats at Harvard University and collaborated with Nobel Prize winner David H. Hubel. Galambos worked with Donald Griffin on animal echolocation studies, using innovative sound capture technology and pioneering methods to monitor brain responses. His research contributed to the development of hearing tests for infants, auditory brainstem implants, and cochlear implants for the profoundly deaf.
