Categorical and semantic perception of the meaning of call-types in zebra finches

Julie Estelle Elie, Aude de Witasse-Thézy, Logan Thomas, Ben Malit, Frédéric E. Theunissen

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

Vocal learning-associated convergent evolution in mammalian proteins and regulatory elements

Morgan E. Wirthlin, Tobias A. Schmid, Julie Estelle Elie, Xiaomeng Zhang, Amanda M. Kowalczyk, Ruby W. Redlich, Varvara A. Shvareva, Ashley Rakuljic, Maria B. Ji, Ninad S. Bhat, Irene M. Kaplow, Daniel E. Schäffer, Alyssa J. Lawler, Andrew Z. Wang, BaDoi N. Phan, , Irina Ruf

The paper identifies proteins and regulatory elements associated with vocal learning by analyzing bat neural activity and epigenomic data.

Invariant neural responses for sensory categories revealed by the time-varying information for communication calls

Julie Estelle Elie, Frédéric E. Theunissen

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.
