Selectivity for Animal Vocalizations in the Human Auditory Cortex [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2007 We aimed at testing the cortical representation of complex natural sounds within auditory cortex using human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). To this end, we employed 2 different paradigms in the same subjects: a block-design experiment was to provide a localization of areas involved in the processing of animal vocalizations, whereas an ...

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 ...

Inferring low-dimensional latent descriptions of animal vocalizations
bioRxiv, 2019 Vocalization is an essential medium for social and sexual signaling in most birds and mammals. Consequently, the analysis of vocal behavior is of great interest to fields such as neuroscience and linguistics. A standard approach to analyzing vocalization

The syntax–semantics interface in animal vocal communication [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Syntax (rules for combining words or elements) and semantics (meaning of expressions) are two pivotal features of human language, and interaction between them allows us to generate a limitless number of meaningful expressions. While both features were traditionally thought to be unique to human language, research over the past four decades has revealed

General isochronous rhythm in echolocation calls and social vocalizations of the bat Saccopteryx bilineata [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations.

Large-scale avian vocalization detection delivers reliable global biodiversity insights
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaTracking biodiversity and its dynamics at scale is essential if we are to solve global environmental challenges. Detecting animal vocalizations in passively recorded audio data offers an automatable, inexpensive, and taxonomically broad way to monitor ...

The Role of Sound in Livestock Farming—Selected Aspects
Animals, 2023 Simple Summary Greater awareness about animal welfare forces breeders to pay more attention to animals’ needs and behaviors. The presence of sound coming from surroundings, machines, people, and animals themselves may be an important factor that affects ...
