Vocal repertoire and individuality in the plains zebra (Equus quagga)
Royal Society Open ScienceAcoustic signals are vital in animal communication, and quantifying them is fundamental for understanding animal behaviour and ecology. Vocalizations can be classified into acoustically and functionally or contextually distinct categories, but ...

Optimal features for auditory categorization
Nature Communications, 2019 Vocalizations such as speech or animal calls have high variability in production. Here, the authors report that a few mid-level acoustic features provide sufficient information to generalize across this variability and classify vocalization types and ...

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2016 Bird vocalizations could be used to analyze various ecological aspects and hypotheses as the environment affects the evolution of acoustic signals. Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis ceylonensis) is one such ideal candidate for ecological studies ...

Using transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) to understand cognitive processing [PDF]
, 2016 Noninvasive brain stimulation methods are becoming increasingly common tools in the kit of the cognitive scientist. In particular, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is showing great promise as a tool to causally manipulate the brain and ...

Neural control of vocalization in bats: mapping of brainstem areas with electrical microstimulation eliciting species-specific echolocation calls in the rufous horseshoe bat [PDF]
, 1990 1. The functional role of brainstem structures in the emission of echolocation calls was investigated in the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi, with electrical low-current microstimulation procedures. 2.

Rhythm in speech and animal vocalizations: a cross‐species perspective [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019 AbstractWhy does human speech have rhythm? As we cannot travel back in time to witness how speech developed its rhythmic properties and why humans have the cognitive skills to process them, we rely on alternative methods to find out. One powerful tool is the comparative approach: studying the presence or absence of cognitive/behavioral traits in other ...

Acoustic-based models to assess herd-level calves' emotional state: A machine learning approach
Smart Agricultural TechnologyAnimal bioacoustics is an important tool for monitoring different aspects of the physiology, behavior and well-being of animals remotely, non-invasively and continuously.

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016 While several studies have investigated mouse ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) emitted by isolated pups or by males in mating contexts, studies of behavioral contexts other than mating and vocalization categories other than USVs have been limited.

Chimpanzee quiet hoo variants differ according to context [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 In comparative studies of evolution of communication, the function and use of animal quiet calls have typically been understudied, despite that these signals are presumably under selection like other vocalizations, such as alarm calls.
