Has anyone studied the acoustic startle response in bats? I'm trying to
calibrate a sensorimotor model of an echolocating bat capturing a target,
and I'm trying to define a reasonable lower bound for the bat's reaction
time during the terminal phase. One of the postdocs in the lab mentioned
that 20 msec for the acoustic startle response has been measured in some
mammals, and I'm trying to track down the literature.
