Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Weak electric fish generate an electric field around the fish body to know the surrounding environment. Electric-field modulations elicited by a nearby object enable the fish to perceive the object. This behavior is called electric location. In this study, we explore how information of object’s shape is encoded in the fish brain. We develop a model for calculating electric fields around the fish and a neural model that consists of electroreceptors and the hindbrain. Using these models, we examine what features of electric-field modulation represent object’s shape and how these features are encoded in receptors and the hindbrain.
