Acoustic characteristics used by Japanese macaques for individual discrimination
The vocalizations of primates contain information about speaker individuality. Many primates, including humans, are able to distinguish conspecifics based solely on vocalizations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acoustic characteristics used by Japanese macaques in individual vocal discrimination. Furthermore, we tested human subjects using monkey vocalizations to evaluate spec...
متن کاملRole of vocal tract characteristics in individual discrimination by Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
The Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) exhibits a species-specific communication sound called the "coo call" to locate group members and maintain within-group contact. Monkeys have been demonstrated to be capable of discriminating between individuals based only on their voices, but there is still debate regarding how the fundamental frequencies (F0) and filter properties of the vocal tract chara...
متن کاملAcoustic Characteristics of Japanese Vowels
The purpose of this study was to build a large database on Japanese vowels and to clarify their acoustic characteristics. Recordings were made of 256 males and 252 females aged from 6 to 76 years old, for both Kanto (Tokyo) and Kansai (Osaka) dialects, producing the vowels /i, e, a, o, u/ in isolation, in /h-Vda/ syllables and in /b-V-ta/ syllables within and without a carrier sentence.

متن کاملCopying hierarchical leaders' voices? Acoustic plasticity in female Japanese macaques.
It has been historically claimed that call production in nonhuman primates has been shaped by genetic factors, although, recently socially-guided plasticity and cortical control during vocal exchanges have been observed. In humans, context-dependent vocal convergence with relatives, friends or leaders' voices can be found. Comparative studies with monkeys and apes presenting tolerant social org...
متن کاملDiscrimination ability of individual measures used in sleep stages classification
OBJECTIVE The paper goes through the basic knowledge about classification of sleep stages from polysomnographic recordings. The next goal was to review and compare a large number of measures to find the suitable candidates for the study of sleep onset and sleep evolution. METHODS AND MATERIAL A huge number of characteristics, including relevant simple measures in time domain, characteristics ...
