How Animals Map 3D Spaces Surprises Brain Researchers
Reading the article I couldn&#x27;t stop thinking: Isn&#x27;t 3D space perhaps being mapped by a &quot;crumpled&quot; 2D space filling surface?<p>Real world environments are rarely really 3D, and a 2D surface is perhaps the sweet spot in complexity&#x2F;degrees of freedom for most practical cases? This would explain why 3D mazes are so much more disorienting than 2D mazes, for example.
