This study shows zebra finches can categorize and assign meaning to different call-types based on behavioral context, not just acoustic similarity.

This study investigates how different dimensions of melody are encoded in the human auditory cortex, finding both music-specific and domain-general representations.

The paper develops a method to estimate time-varying categorical information in neural responses and finds that avian auditory neurons carry more information in temporal patterns than average firing rates.
