This paper investigates how Lobula Plate Tangential Cells (LPTCs) perform dimensionality reduction of visual signals, showing they efficiently encode motion cues for navigation while allowing reconstruction of optical flow.

This study identifies four fundamental morphing shape modes in Harris' hawk flight that capture most wing and tail variation, revealing structured yet flexible adaptive strategies.

The paper shows that blowfly motion vision is tuned to maximize signal energy transfer between mechanical input and sensor output, improving observability and controllability.
