Bats are the second largest mammalian order, with over 1,300 species. These animals show
diverse behaviors, diets, and habitats. Most bats produce ultrasonic vocalizations and …

Sound discrimination is essential in many species for communicating and foraging. Bats, for
example, use sounds for echolocation and communication. In the bat auditory cortex there …

The ability to vocalize is ubiquitous in vertebrates, but neural networks underlying vocal
control remain poorly understood. Here, we performed simultaneous neuronal recordings in …

Experimental evidence supports that cortical oscillations represent multiscale temporal
modulations existent in natural stimuli, yet little is known about the processing of these …

Communication sounds are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom, where they play a role in
advertising physiological states and/or socio-contextual scenarios. Human screams, for …

For the purpose of orientation, echolocating bats emit highly repetitive and spatially directed
sonar calls. Echoes arising from call reflections are used to create an acoustic image of the …

Identifying unexpected acoustic inputs, which allows to react appropriately to new situations,
is of major importance for animals. Neural deviance detection describes a change of neural …

The extraction of temporal information from sensory input streams is of paramount
importance in the auditory system. In this study, amplitude-modulated sounds were used as …

Many social animals utter distress calls in the context of fear. These vocalizations may serve
to attract audiences for help, warn individuals of danger, and confuse the predator. Here, we …

In natural environments, background noise can degrade the integrity of acoustic signals,
posing a problem for animals that rely on their vocalizations for communication and …
