Many animals acoustically communicate in large aggregations, producing biotic
soundscapes. In turn, these natural soundscapes can influence the efficacy of animal …

The ability to discriminate species and recognize individuals is crucial for reproductive
success and/or survival in most animals. However, the temporal order and neural …

Females of many species choose mates using multiple sensory modalities. Multimodal noise
may arise, however, in dense aggregations of animals communicating via multiple sensory …

Animal acoustic communication can be challenging under intense noise. Amphibians that
inhabit noisy environments offer a great opportunity to study potential mechanisms that …

The characteristics of acoustic signals co-evolve with preferences of the auditory sensory
system. However, how the brain perceives call variations and whether it can reveal …

Sex differences in vocalization have been commonly found in vocal animals. It remains
unclear, however, how animals perceive and discriminate these differences. The amplitudes …

Visual lateralization is a typical characteristic of many vertebrates; however, its underlying
dynamic neural mechanism is unclear. In this study, predatory responses and dynamic brain …

Simple Summary We investigated auditory event-related potentials (ERP) related to auditory
attention in music frogs. Our objective was to explore whether ERP components related to …

This study builds upon Weiss et al.'s (2012) findings that vocally produced melodies are
better remembered than instrumental versions of the same melodies, an effect the authors …

The “Arts” or art forms as therapeutic intervention has been documented in professional
journals as being as effective as talk therapy in reducing stress related symptoms. The …
