    Praying Mantis insects have been fitted with tiny 3D glasses and given their own cinema – so scientists can learn how their brains make them top insect predators.Scientists have discovered neurons in their brains that compute 3D distance and direction. Understanding these could help vision in robots.In stunning images captured under the microscope for the first time, the neurons were found in praying mantises. The specially-designed insect cinema was created by researchers at Newcastle University in the UK.The mantises were fitted with 3D glasses made up of red and green lenses.The glasses were glued with bees wax to the eyes of a mantis.They were then shown a range of moving images on a mini movie-like screen and shown 3D movies of simulated bugs while their brain activity was monitored. ower autonomous robots.”
