A compact statistical model of the song syntax in Bengalese finch [PDF]
, 2010 Songs of many songbird species consist of variable sequences of a finite number of syllables. A common approach for characterizing the syntax of these complex syllable sequences is to use transition probabilities between the syllables. This is equivalent

Birdsong classification based on ensemble multi-scale convolutional neural network
Scientific Reports, 2022 With the intensification of ecosystem damage, birds have become the symbolic species of the ecosystem. Ornithology with interdisciplinary technical research plays a great significance for protecting birds and evaluating ecosystem quality.

Vocal learning promotes patterned inhibitory connectivity. [PDF]
, 2017 Skill learning is instantiated by changes to functional connectivity within premotor circuits, but whether the specificity of learning depends on structured changes to inhibitory circuitry remains unclear.

Early development of vocal interaction rules in a duetting songbird [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Exchange of vocal signals is an important aspect of animal communication. Although birdsong is the premier model for understanding vocal development, the development of vocal interaction rules in birds and possible parallels to humans have been little ...

Evidence for Teaching in an Australian Songbird
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Song in oscine birds (as in human speech and song) relies upon the rare capacity of vocal learning. Transmission can be vertical, horizontal, or oblique.

Hanging out in the outback: the use of social hotspots by wild zebra finches
Journal of Avian Biology, 2023 The social and spatial organisation of avian societies is often complex and dynamic with individuals socialising with others in a local population. Although social interactions can readily be described in colonial breeders through the location of nests ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 It has been proposed that social cohesion in gregarious animals is reinforced both by a positive affective state induced by social interactions and by the prevention of a negative state that would be caused by social separation.

Modeling how population size drives the evolution of birdsong, a functional cultural trait
Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2022 Oscine songbirds have been an important study system for social learning, particularly because their learned songs provide an analog for human languages and music. Here, we propose a different analogy: from an evolutionary perspective, could birds’ songs

On the representation of hierarchical structure: Revisiting Darwin’s musical protolanguage
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 In this article, we address the tenability of Darwin’s musical protolanguage, arguing that a more compelling evolutionary scenario is one where a prosodic protolanguage is taken to be the preliminary step to represent the hierarchy involved in linguistic

Neural Plasticity, 2020 Anterior forebrain pathway (AFP), a basal ganglia-dorsal forebrain circuit, significantly impacts birdsong, specifically in juvenile or deaf birds. Despite many physiological experiments supporting AFP’s role in song production, the mechanism underlying ...
