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

Complex sequencing rules of birdsong can be explained by simple hidden Markov processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Complex sequencing rules observed in birdsongs provide an opportunity to investigate the neural mechanism for generating complex sequential behaviors.

Mirror neurons, birdsong and human language: a hypothesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
The Mirror System Hypothesis (MSH) and investigations of birdsong are reviewed in relation to the significance for the development of human symbolic and language capacity, in terms of three fundamental forms of cognitive reference: iconic, indexical, and

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.

Controllable biomimetic birdsong [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of The Royal Society Interface, 2017
Birdsong is the product of the controlled generation of sound embodied in a neuromotor system. From a biophysical perspective, a natural question is that of the difficulty of producing birdsong. To address this, we built a biomimetic syrinx consisting of a stretched simple rubber tube through which air is blown, subject to localized mechanical ...

Ultrasonic Songs of Male Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Previously it was shown that male mice, when they encounter female mice or their pheromones, emit ultrasonic vocalizations with frequencies ranging over 30–110 kHz.

Extensive GJD2 Expression in the Song Motor Pathway Reveals the Extent of Electrical Synapses in the Songbird Brain

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Birdsong is a precisely timed animal behavior. The connectivity of song premotor neural networks has been proposed to underlie the temporal patterns of neuronal activity that control vocal muscle movements during singing.

From the Dawn Chorus to the Canary Choir

open access: yesHumanimalia, 2020
Birdsong is familiar but enigmatic: to some nothing but mechanical “instinct,” but so excessively exuberant that enthusiasts have linked the songs of birds to the development of the aesthetic sense.

Improved Broad Learning System for Birdsong Recognition

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Birds play a vital and indispensable role in biodiversity and environmental conservation. Protecting bird diversity is crucial for maintaining the balance of nature, promoting ecosystem health, and ensuring sustainable development.
