“Hearken to the Hermit-Thrush”1: A Case Study in Interdisciplinary Listening

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Birdsong is widely analysed and discussed by people coming from both musical and scientific backgrounds. Both approaches provide valuable insight, but I argue that it is only through combining musical and scientific points of view, as well as ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 for Prisoners [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Workshops in Computing, 2011
Birdsong for Prisoners explores the ways in which we interpret sound, recalling memories of chords and phrases that trigger new stories and challenge our perception of a world where sound is only available with accompanying still and moving images. Created from a variety of sources including birdsong, improvised jazz and the creative use of piezo mics ...

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

Syntactic modulation of rhythm in Australian pied butcherbird song

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2022
The acoustic structure of birdsong is spectrally and temporally complex. Temporal complexity is often investigated in a syntactic framework focusing on the statistical features of symbolic song sequences.
