Mismatch Responses Evoked by Sound Pattern Violation in the Songbird Forebrain Suggest Common Auditory Processing With Human

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Learning sound patterns in the natural auditory scene and detecting deviant patterns are adaptive behaviors that aid animals in predicting future events and behaving accordingly.

A General Approach for the Analysis of Habitat Selection [PDF]

, 2007
Investigating habitat selection of animals aims at the detection of preferred and avoided habitat types as well as at the identification of covariates influencing the choice of certain habitat types.

A loss of heterozygosity, a loss in competition? The effects of inbreeding, pre‐ and postnatal conditions on nestling development

Ecology and Evolution, 2016
The early developmental trajectory is affected by genetic and environmental factors that co‐depend and interact often in a complex way. In order to distinguish their respective roles, we used canaries (Serinus canaria) of different genetic backgrounds ...

Song Processing in the Zebra Finch Auditory Forebrain Reflects Asymmetric Sensitivity to Temporal and Spectral Structure

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Despite being commonly referenced throughout neuroscientific research on songbirds, reports of hemispheric specialization in the processing of song remain controversial.

Neural activity in cortico-basal ganglia circuits of juvenile songbirds encodes performance during goal-directed learning

eLife, 2017
Cortico-basal ganglia circuits are thought to mediate goal-directed learning by a process of outcome evaluation to gradually select appropriate motor actions.

Timing avian long-distance migration: from internal clock mechanisms to global flights [PDF]

, 2017
Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand kilometres away.

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

Early Auditory Experience Modifies Neuronal Firing Properties in the Zebra Finch Auditory Cortex

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020
Songbirds learn to sing much as humans learn to speak. In zebra finches, one of the premier songbird models, males learn to sing for later courtship through a multistep learning process during the developmental period.

Non-Invasive Monitoring of the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Vocalizations among Songbirds in a Semi Free-Flight Environment Using Robot Audition Techniques

Birds, 2021
To understand the social interactions among songbirds, extracting the timing, position, and acoustic properties of their vocalizations is essential. We propose a framework for automatic and fine-scale extraction of spatial-spectral-temporal patterns of ...
