No Robust Evidence for Octave Equivalence in Bengalese Finches

open access: yes
Octave equivalence—the tendency to perceive tones separated by a 2:1 frequency ratio as perceptually similar—is a fundamental feature of human pitch perception and a key component of musical pitch organization. Evidence for octave equivalence in nonhuman animals remains limited, and previous avian studies have generally failed to find robust octave ...

Perception of missing fundamentals in zebra finches and Bengalese finches

open access: yesPerception of missing fundamentals in zebra finches and Bengalese finches
Perception of missing fundamental is widespread in vertebrate animals but seldom it is discussed with the relationship with vocal signals used by the animals. We tested the perception of missing fundamentals in two species of closely related finches with widely different vocal signals.

Voco-auditory behavior in the bengalese finch: A comparison with the zebra finch

open access: yesVoco-auditory behavior in the bengalese finch: A comparison with the zebra finch
The zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata castanotis) has been a 'de facto standard' in neuroethological study of song learning. A large number of exciting findings in the neurobiology of learning and memory based on song learning behavior in this species.

Sequential learning and rule abstraction in Bengalese finches

open access: yesSequential learning and rule abstraction in Bengalese finches
The Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata var. domestica) is a species of songbird. Males sing courtship songs with complex note-to-note transition rules, while females discriminate these songs when choosing their mate. The present study uses serial reaction time (RT) to examine the characteristics of the Bengalese finches' sequential behaviours beyond ...
