Figure 7


Fig. 7. Positions and amplitudes of the bimodal electric image's characteristic points (`xR', `x0' and `xC') for different rostro-caudal object locations (box model; optimal uniform skin conductivity; object centered 3 cm away from the fish's midline). (A,C) Normalized peak positions for sinusoidal (A) and skewed (C) current densities. Peak positions and object locations are normalized with respect to EO coordinates, with the rostral side corresponding to zero. Blue and green traces are the positions of the rostral and caudal peaks, respectively, while red traces show the positions of the zero-crossings. The solid black curve shows the identity line, where the location of the electric image's dominant peak at the skin corresponds exactly to the rostro-caudal location of the object. Black broken lines delimit zones in which certain characteristic curves are closest to the solid black trace: e.g. in C, the blue trace (xR) is closest to the identity line in the rostral zone, i.e. the bimodal image's rostral peak is closest to the object's actual location in this zone. (B,D) Absolute potentials of the bimodal electric image's rostral and caudal peaks for sinusoidal (B) and skewed (D) current densities. Blue traces show absolute potential values for the rostral peak while caudal peak values are shown in green.
