Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Acoustics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Ecology

James A. Simmons spends much of his time researching Acoustics, Sonar, Human echolocation, Eptesicus fuscus and Echo. His study in Acoustics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Vertical direction and Remote sensing. The concepts of his Sonar study are interwoven with issues in Ultrasonic sensor, Ranging, Optoacoustic imaging and Spectrogram.

His Human echolocation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sound localization and Communication. The various areas that James A. Simmons examines in his Eptesicus fuscus study include Amplitude, Auditory system, Neuroscience and Phyllostomus hastatus. His work carried out in the field of Echolocation jamming brings together such families of science as Ecology, Predation, Absorption and Movement.

His most cited work include:

  • Echolocation and pursuit of prey by bats (378 citations)
  • Measurements of atmospheric attenuation at ultrasonic frequencies and the significance for echolocation by bats. (315 citations)
  • The resolution of target range by echolocating bats (304 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Acoustics, Sonar, Human echolocation, Eptesicus fuscus and Echo. The study incorporates disciplines such as Clutter and Interference in addition to Acoustics. His Clutter research includes themes of Speech recognition and Masking.

The Sonar study combines topics in areas such as Auditory system, Bandwidth and Computer vision. His work in the fields of Human echolocation, such as Echolocation jamming, overlaps with other areas such as Pulse. His Eptesicus study in the realm of Eptesicus fuscus interacts with subjects such as Target range.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Acoustics (78.24%)
  • Sonar (46.95%)
  • Human echolocation (46.18%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Acoustics (78.24%)
  • Sonar (46.95%)
  • Human echolocation (46.18%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

James A. Simmons mainly investigates Acoustics, Sonar, Human echolocation, Eptesicus fuscus and Clutter. His work on Noise as part of his general Acoustics study is frequently connected to Echo, Microphone and Ambiguity, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Sonar research includes elements of Perspective, Cochlea and Gaze, Computer vision.

James A. Simmons interconnects Stimulus, Seismology, Culvert and Harmonic in the investigation of issues within Human echolocation. His work deals with themes such as Noise, Sound pressure, Inferior colliculus, Sound exposure and Local field potential, which intersect with Eptesicus fuscus. James A. Simmons works mostly in the field of Clutter, limiting it down to topics relating to Sound and, in certain cases, Range and Speech recognition.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Echolocating Big Brown Bats, Eptesicus fuscus, Modulate Pulse Intervals to Overcome Range Ambiguity in Cluttered Surroundings (28 citations)
  • Estimating colony sizes of emerging bats using acoustic recordings (25 citations)
  • Broadband noise exposure does not affect hearing sensitivity in big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus). (10 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Acoustics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Optics

James A. Simmons mainly focuses on Human echolocation, Eptesicus fuscus, Acoustics, Sound exposure and Sonar. His studies in Human echolocation integrate themes in fields like Perspective, Sensory system, High spatial resolution and Eye movement, Artificial intelligence. His work on Noise as part of general Acoustics study is frequently linked to Pulse and Echo, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His studies examine the connections between Noise and genetics, as well as such issues in Bioacoustics, with regards to Sensitivity, Wideband and Psychoacoustics. His Sound exposure study also includes fields such as

  • Sound pressure and related Broadband noise and Auditory perception,
  • Auditory fatigue together with Audiometry and Stimulus. James A. Simmons has included themes like Seismology, Culvert and Computer vision in his Sonar study.
