Hanne is investigating the capabilities of the colour and polarisation vision system in mantis shrimps. She uses techniques such as histology, microscopy and electrophysiology to map out the neural architecture of the mantis shrimps visual system and hopes to gain insight into how they analyse and process the large amount of visual signals detected by their retinas.
