INSPECTing read speech – How different typefaces affect speech prosody

Innovating Speech Elicitation Techniques (INSPECT) is a line of research that aims to describe and quantify how different recording methods and materials affect speech production both inside and outside the laboratory. In addition, it aims to find new elicitation techniques or refine established techniques such that they provide a better control over speaking styles and/or target variables, par...

How does climate influence speciation?

Variation in climatic conditions over space and time is thought to be an important driver of speciation. However, the role of climate has not been explored in the theoretical literature on speciation, and the theory underlying empirical studies of climate and speciation has come largely from informal, verbal models. In this study, we develop a quantitative model to test a relatively new but the...

Visual Categorization: How the Monkey Brain Does It

The computational processes underlying object categorization in cortex are still poorly understood. In a recent experiment, Freedman et al. recorded from inferotemporal (IT) and prefrontal cortices (PFC) of monkeys performing a “cat/dog” categorization task ([1] and Freedman, Riesenhuber, Poggio, Miller, Soc. Neurosci. Abs.). In this paper we analyze the tuning properties of view-tuned units in...
