Principles of structure building in music, language and animal song

Martin Rohrmeier, +3 more
- 19 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: This review brings together accounts of the principles of structure building in music and animal song to corresponding models in formal language theory, the extended Chomsky hierarchy (CH), and their probabilistic counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI

What Pinnipeds Have to Say about Human Speech, Music, and the Evolution of Rhythm

Andrea Ravignani, +10 more
- 20 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the high relevance of pinniped research for the study of speech, musical rhythm, and their origins, bridging and complementing current research on primates and birds.
Journal ArticleDOI

HVC interneurons are not renewed in adult male zebra finches.

Sophie Scotto-Lomassese, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that one month after being born in the lateral ventricle, 42% of the newborn HVC neurons were retrogradely labelled by tracer injections into the RA, which strongly suggest that only HVCRA are recruited into the adult HVC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward Testing for Multimodal Perception of Mating Signals

Wouter Halfwerk, +5 more
- 17 Apr 2019 - 
TL;DR: This work discusses how this conceptual dichotomy might have hampered a more integrative, perception encompassing understanding of multimodal communication: neither the multiple message nor the back-up signal hypotheses address the possibility that multi-modal signals are integrated neurally into one percept.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basal ganglia function, stuttering, sequencing and repair in adult songbirds

Lubica Kubikova, +5 more
- 01 May 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is reported that neurotoxic damage to adult Area X induced changes in singing tempo and global syllable sequencing in all animals, and considerably increased syllable repetition in birds whose song motifs ended with minor repetitions before lesioning.
