Vocal learning is a complex acquired social behavior that has been found only in very few
animals. The process of animal vocal learning requires the participation of sensorimotor …

Complex cognition requires coordinated neuronal activity at the network level. In mammals,
this coordination results in distinct dynamics of local field potentials (LFP) central to many …

The detection of events in time-series data is a common signal-processing problem. When
the data can be modeled as a known template signal with an unknown delay in Gaussian …

Complex, learned motor behaviors involve the coordination of large-scale neural activity
across multiple brain regions, but our understanding of the population-level dynamics within …

Maintaining motor behaviors throughout life is crucial for an individual's survival and
reproductive success. The neuronal mechanisms that preserve behavior are poorly …

Losing the ability to speak—whether from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological
disorders—significantly reduces a person's quality of life. Research studies demonstrate …

Songbirds are widely studied as an animal model to accelerate the development of neurally
driven speech prostheses. Consequently, the analyses carried out on the songbird model …
