DESCRIPTION:Sharks\, sturgeons and salamanders all have special sense orga
 ns containing ‘electroreceptor cells’ that allow them to detect the we
 ak\, low-frequency electric fields that surround living animals in water\,
  which they use for hunting. Some lineages of teleost fishes (like knifefi
 shes\, which include the electric eel) have independently evolved electror
 eceptors that detect high-frequency self-generated electric fields\, used 
 for ‘electrolocation’ (like echolocation\, but using electric fields) 
 and communication. \n\n\nDr Clare Baker will introduce this fascinating 
 “sixth sense” and describe her lab’s work on the embryonic developme
 nt and evolution of electroreceptors.\n\nThis SciBar is free\, but due to 
 limited seating\, please come early to ensure yourself a seat. Also please
  feel free to order food and drinks from the YHA bar\, which you can enjoy
  during the talk.\n\nFor more information about the British Science Associ
