Neurons in the bat auditory cortex encode class and complexity of future vocalizations [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Vocal production is a complex behavior across the animal kingdom that relies on coordinated motor and auditory networks. However, the contribution of sensory areas in vocal control remains poorly understood.

Animal Species Classification from Vocalizations Using Cochlear-Inspired Audio Features and Machine Learning [PDF]

open access: yesBiomimetics
Biomimetic approaches have gained increasing attention in the development of efficient computational models for sound scene analysis. In this paper, we present a sound-based animal species classification method inspired by the auditory processing ...

What is vocology?

open access: yesRevista de Investigación e Innovación en Ciencias de la Salud, 2021
In its broadest definition, Vocology is the study of vocalization, much like audiology is the study of hearing. Vocology includes the exploration of the full capability of human and animal sound production, some of which is embedded in human speech.

Acoustic sensors for detecting cow behaviour

open access: yesSmart Agricultural Technology, 2023
Acoustic technologies provide a non-invasive method to generate information about the health, welfare, and environmental impact of livestock. This study demonstrated that rear leg attached acoustic sensors can be used to differentiate between seven ...

Increased self-triggered vocalizations in an epidermal growth factor-induced rat model for schizophrenia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Rats elicit two types of ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), positive (30–80 kHz; high pitch) and negative (10–30 kHz; low pitch) voices. As patients with schizophrenia often exhibit soliloquy-like symptoms, we explored whether an animal model for ...

Modeling Animal Vocalizations through Synthesizers

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Modeling real-world sound is a fundamental problem in the creative use of machine learning and many other fields, including human speech processing and bioacoustics. Transformer-based generative models and some prior work (e.g., DDSP) are known to produce realistic sound, although they have limited control and are hard to interpret.

Origins of scale invariance in vocalization sequences and speech. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2018
To communicate effectively animals need to detect temporal vocalization cues that vary over several orders of magnitude in their amplitude and frequency content.

A Protocol for the Non-invasive Method of Ultrasound Separation During the Sociosexual Vocal-Non-contact Model in Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Ultrasonic vocalization (USV) is one of the measurable behavioral parameters of sociosexual interactions in rats. To precisely and accurately describe the neurobehavioral properties of USV and the potentially related specific emotional responsiveness of ...

Animation Synthesis Triggered by Vocal Mimics [PDF]

open access: yesMotion, Interaction and Games, 2019
We propose a method leveraging the naturally time-related expressivity of our voice to control an animation composed of a set of short events. The user records itself mimicking onomatopoeia sounds such as "Tick", "Pop", or "Chhh" which are associated with specific animation events.
