摘 要：The bats scan the surrounding and hunt insects by emitting continuous sequences of echolocation *** is very important for echolocation bats that the recovery cycle of central auditory neurons can determine the responses of neurons to second sound stimulation. For constant frequency-frequency modulation (CF-FM) bats,there is some overlap between emitted sound signal and echo under anyhow low or high pulse repetition rate condition. But the CF-FM bats still can extract information from echo and discriminate the target from the background much better. Therefore,it is a very interesting question that how CF-FM bats can be against the overlap between emitted sound signal and echo.
