Molecular mapping of movement-associated areas in the avian brain: a motor theory for vocal learning origin.

PLoS ONE, 2008
Vocal learning is a critical behavioral substrate for spoken human language. It is a rare trait found in three distantly related groups of birds-songbirds, hummingbirds, and parrots.

Seasonal regulation of singing-driven gene expression associated with song plasticity in the canary, an open-ended vocal learner

Molecular Brain, 2021
Songbirds are one of the few animal taxa that possess vocal learning abilities. Different species of songbirds exhibit species-specific learning programs during song acquisition.

Behavior-Based Early Language Development on a Humanoid Robot [PDF]

, 2002
We are exploring the idea that early language acquisition could be better modelled on an artifcial creature by considering the pragmatic aspect of natural language and of its development in human infants.

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.

Learning and adaptation in speech production without a vocal tract [PDF]

, 2019
How is the complex audiomotor skill of speaking learned? To what extent does it depend on the specific characteristics of the vocal tract? Here, we developed a touchscreen-based speech synthesizer to examine learning of speech production independent of ...

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.

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]

, 2007
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Deep-learning in Identification of Vocal Pathologies

Proceedings of the 13th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, 2020
The work consists in a classification problem of four classes of vocal pathologies using one Deep Neural Network. Three groups of features extracted from speech of subjects with Dysphonia, Vocal Fold Paralysis, Laryngitis Chronica and controls were experimented.

Transfer Effect of Speech-sound Learning on Auditory-motor Processing of Perceived Vocal Pitch Errors [PDF]

, 2015
Speech perception and production are intimately linked. There is evidence that speech motor learning results in changes to auditory processing of speech.
