Description: Includes data on mechanisms underlying animal acoustic communication as well as biography and related publications.
I am interested in neurophysiological processes underlying communicative behavior, cognition, and sleep. My research focuses on vocal communication in birds. There are many parallels between bird vocalization and human speech, for example the ability to learn to produce specific vocalizations from other individuals. Because such parallels are lacking in most nonhuman mammals, and because many birds are relatively easy to study in the lab, bird vocalization provides us with an interesting and practical model system to study how complex communication is caused by neural and peripheral systems. In addition I am interested in the phylogenetic origins and evolution of vocal communication mechanisms and language.
