Song Circuit in Bird Brain Contains Map of Space and Time
Many brain regions involved in perception and movement are characterized by orderly maps, with neighboring neurons responding to similar features of sensory input or motor output. For example, brain circuits involved in motor control contain maps for distinct muscle groups and preferred direction of movement. However, it has not been clear whether higher-order features, such as time in a moveme...
متن کاملPredicting bird song from space
Environmentally imposed selection pressures are well known to shape animal signals. Changes in these signals can result in recognition mismatches between individuals living in different habitats, leading to reproductive divergence and speciation. For example, numerous studies have shown that differences in avian song may be a potent prezygotic isolating mechanism. Typically, however, detailed s...
متن کاملAnalyzing bird song syllables on the Self-Organizing Map
In this work, we present two methods for analyzing the syllables of the bird song on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM). Dynamic time warping is used for computing the distances between the data sequences. In the first method, the pairwise distances are first computed between the data sequences and each row of the distance matrix is then considered as a feature vector. The conventional SOM with fixe...
متن کاملBird song, ecology and speciation.
The study of bird song dialects was once considered the most promising approach for investigating the role of behaviour in reproductive divergence and speciation. However, after a series of studies yielding conflicting results, research in the field slowed significantly. Recent findings, on how ecological factors may lead to divergence in both song and morphology, necessitate a re-examination. ...
متن کاملAuditory experience-dependent cortical circuit shaping for memory formation in bird song learning
As in human speech acquisition, songbird vocal learning depends on early auditory experience. During development, juvenile songbirds listen to and form auditory memories of adult tutor songs, which they use to shape their own vocalizations in later sensorimotor learning. The higher-level auditory cortex, called the caudomedial nidopallium (NCM), is a potential storage site for tutor song memory...
