The primary research goal was to study formation of marine mammals’ bioacoustic communication and orientation systems during the evolution process. The researcher studies acoustic physiological patterns in functioning of dolphin`s communication and echolocation systems. The researcher conducts a theoretical justification, experiments and subsequent analysis of the work to clarify the role and importance of the new sensory system in the marine mammals adaptation to aquatic life. Recent papers focus on study of:
1) dolphin`s ability to perceive low frequency noises and the role of spectral analysis in them;
2) dolphin`s ability to detect and classify objects in places that are challenging for location search.
The experiments demonstrate high adaptivity of dolphin`s echolocation system and ability to purposefully change operating modes of both its active and passive parts.
