Monkey drumming reveals common networks for perceiving vocal and nonvocal communication sounds.
Salient sounds such as those created by drumming can serve as means of nonvocal acoustic communication in addition to vocal sounds. Despite the ubiquity of drumming across human cultures, its origins and the brain regions specialized in processing such signals remain unexplored. Here, we report that an important animal model for vocal communication, the macaque monkey, also displays drumming be...
متن کاملPerceiving and counting sounds.
Observers counted sequences of 20-msec tones that were presented to the same spatial location or alternated between spatial locations. Counting accuracy increased with increases in the silent interval between tones and increased at a faster rate when the tones were presented to the same location. In the second study, subjects monitored the same sequences of tones for a probe tone that was eithe...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Neural Networks and GMM for Vocal/Nonvocal segmentation for Singer Identification
Vocal and nonvocal segmentation is an important task in singing voice signal processing. Before identifying the singer it is necessary to locate the singer’s voice in a song. Maximum of the songs start with a piece of instrumental accompaniment known as ‘prelude’ in musical terms after which the singing voice comes into play. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the vocal region in the song in ...
متن کاملOn cortical coding of vocal communication sounds in primates.
Understanding how the brain processes vocal communication sounds is one of the most challenging problems in neuroscience. Our understanding of how the cortex accomplishes this unique task should greatly facilitate our understanding of cortical mechanisms in general. Perception of species-specific communication sounds is an important aspect of the auditory behavior of many animal species and is ...
متن کاملVocal Imitations of Non-Vocal Sounds
Imitative behaviors are widespread in humans, in particular whenever two persons communicate and interact. Several tokens of spoken languages (onomatopoeias, ideophones, and phonesthemes) also display different degrees of iconicity between the sound of a word and what it refers to. Thus, it probably comes at no surprise that human speakers use a lot of imitative vocalizations and gestures when ...
