Sensorimotor integration is the process through which the nervous system creates a link
between motor commands and associated sensory feedback. This process allows for the …

Studying the vocalisations of wild animals can be a challenge due to the limitations of
traditional computational methods, which often are time‐consuming and lack reproducibility …

Many human action sequences, such as speaking and performing music, are inherently
rhythmic: Sequence events are produced at quasi-regular temporal intervals. A wide range …

Highlights•Many temporal features of Java sparrow song are socially inherited.•Gap
durations are affected by a range of song characteristics.•No evidence that genetics or the …

Songbirds possess mirror neurons (MNs) activating during the perception and execution of
specific features of songs. These neurons are located in high vocal center (HVC), a premotor …

Researches on sequential vocalization often require analysis of vocalizations in long
continuous sounds. In such studies as developmental ones or studies across generations in …

Birdsong is a learned communicative behavior that consists of discrete acoustic elements
(“syllables”) that are sequenced in a controlled manner. While the learning of the acoustic …

Production and perception of birdsong critically depends on early developmental
experience. In species where singing is a sexually dimorphic trait, early life song experience …

The interplay between inhibition and excitation can regulate behavioral expression and
control, including the expression of communicative behaviors like birdsong. Computational …

Birdsong is a unique model to address learning mechanisms of the timing control of
sequential behaviors, with characteristic temporal structures consisting of serial sequences …
