Automated annotation of birdsong with a neural network that segments spectrograms

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Songbirds provide a powerful model system for studying sensory-motor learning. However, many analyses of birdsong require time-consuming, manual annotation of its elements, called syllables.

Birdsong Denoising Using Wavelets. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Automatic recording of birdsong is becoming the preferred way to monitor and quantify bird populations worldwide. Programmable recorders allow recordings to be obtained at all times of day and year for extended periods of time.

Semi-automatic classification of birdsong elements using a linear support vector machine. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Birdsong provides a unique model for understanding the behavioral and neural bases underlying complex sequential behaviors. However, birdsong analyses require laborious effort to make the data quantitatively analyzable.

Plasticity, Variability and Age in Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Much of what is known about the outcome of second language acquisition and bilingualism can be summarized in terms of inter-individual variability, plasticity and age.

Vocal Learning and Behaviors in Birds and Human Bilinguals: Parallels, Divergences and Directions for Research

open access: yesLanguages, 2021
Comparisons between the communication systems of humans and animals are instrumental in contextualizing speech and language into an evolutionary and biological framework and for illuminating mechanisms of human communication.

Origin of symbol-using systems: speech, but not sign, without the semantic urge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Natural language—spoken and signed—is a multichannel phenomenon, involving facial and body expression, and voice and visual intonation that is often used in the service of a social urge to communicate meaning.

A Sing-Song Way of Vocalizing: Generalization and Specificity in Language and Birdsong. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spoken languages such as German are extremely discrete, whereas others such as Portuguese are melodic or "sing-song" wherein identifying a word relies on what comes before and after.

A circular model for song motor control in Serinus canaria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Song production in songbirds is controlled by a network of nuclei distributed across several brain regions, which drives respiratory and vocal motor systems to generate sound.

Synthetic Birdsongs as a Tool to Induce, and Iisten to, Replay Activity in Sleeping Birds

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Birdsong is a complex vocal behavior, which emerges out of the interaction between a nervous system and a highly nonlinear vocal device, the syrinx. In this work we discuss how low dimensional dynamical systems, interpretable in terms of the biomechanics
