Bob Capranica was a towering figure in the field of auditory neuroethology. Among his many contributions are the exploitation of the anuran auditory system as a general vertebrate model for studying communication, the introduction of a signal processing approach for quantifying sender-receiver dynamics, and the concept of the matched filter for efficient neural processing of complex vocal signals. In this paper, meant to honor Bob on his election to Fellow of the International Society for Neuroethology, I provide a description and analysis of some of his most important research, and I highlight how the concepts and data he contributed still inspire neuroethology today.
鲍勃·卡普拉尼卡是听觉神经生态学领域的杰出人物。他的众多贡献包括利用两栖动物听觉系统作为研究通讯的一般脊椎动物模型、引入信号处理方法来量化发送者-接收者动态，以及匹配滤波器的概念以实现复杂声音信号的有效神经处理。在这篇旨在祝贺鲍勃当选国际神经行为学会会士的论文中，我对他的一些最重要的研究进行了描述和分析，并强调了他所做出的贡献的概念和数据在今天的神经行为学中仍然具有启发意义。
