animal prattle animal prattle New review, "Bioacoustic processing and analyses of mouse vocalizations: Current methods and future directions" Looks comprehensive with lots of recent work www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Focus on #neuroskyence (journal is Behavioral Brain Research) #bioacoustics #prattle 💬
animal prattle 🦇🍸 bat cocktail party problem 🍸🦇 Like humans at a party, echolocating bats must pick out the sound they're interested in while ignoring out many others This review highlights roles of not just auditory but also "cognitive" brain areas in solving this problem #neuroskyence #bioacoustics #prattle 💬
animal prattle 🙊 Meta Monkeying 🙊 @rohinimurugan.bsky.social et al. show in @currentbiology.bsky.social that rhesus macaques "wager" time (wait longer) on trials of an artificial grammar task where stimuli match syntax Supports macaques having explicit metacognition #prattle 💬 www.cell.com/current-biol...
animal prattle Study of how companion parrots use names, finds they do not always do so correctly Finally, "stochastic parrots" I care about #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

Nicholdav "Benchmarking Automated and Semi-Automated Vocal Clustering Methods", new from Lee et al. (Hahnloser group) www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/16... Abstract: "...while fully automated methods provide a useful baseline, they generally fall short of human-level consistency." 1/3 #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics
animal prattle what's in a meow?? 🐈 New from @berlinbatlab.bsky.social! 1. "we examined meows and purrs to establish how individual identity is encoded" 2. stronger individual signature in purrs than in meows 3. domestic cat meows more variable than those of wild felids #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #neuroskyence
