Additional information
Significance of output:
Fish and many amphibian use a sense organ called the lateral line to feel the perturbations in the water around them. In extreme cases this may be the primary method the fish uses to map the world, such as the Mexican blind cave fish. This work is the first to explain the mathematics of how pressure signals may be used to determine the size and shape of objects immersed a fluid flow, and how that information degrades with noise and distance from the sensor. These results have been used extensively in the design of pressure sensors for underwater research vehicles.
