Acoustic Synchrony
نویسنده
چکیده
Many different biological systems experience mutual synchrony [2]. We have studied the particular case of synchrony amongst two crickets using an adapted integrate and fire model studied by Mirollo and Strogatz. By using a microphone and speaker coupling to model a cricket, we tested to see if the crickets would synchronize. I found conclusive data for mutual synchrony when running numerical simulations, but no global synchronization for live simulations.

Audio Vision: Using Audio-Visual Synchrony to Locate Sounds
Psychophysical and physiological evidence shows that sound localization of acoustic signals is strongly influenced by their synchrony with visual signals. This effect, known as ventriloquism, is at work when sound coming from the side of a TV set feels as if it were coming from the mouth of the actors. The ventriloquism effect suggests that there is important information about sound location en...
متن کاملMaladaptive Neural Synchrony in Tinnitus: Origin and Restoration
Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound heard in the absence of physical sound sources external or internal to the body, reflected in aberrant neural synchrony of spontaneous or resting-state brain activity. Neural synchrony is generated by the nearly simultaneous firing of individual neurons, of the synchronization of membrane-potential changes in local neural groups as reflected in the ...

متن کاملDisentrainment may be a Positive Thing: A Novel Measure of Unsigned Acoustic-Prosodic Synchrony, and its Relation to Speaker Engagement
Synchrony is a form of entrainment which consists in a relative coordination between two speakers, who throughout conversation simultaneously vary some properties of their speech. We describe two novel measures of acoustic-prosodic synchrony that are derived from a time-series analysis of the speech signal. Both of these measures reward positive synchrony (entrainment) and, while one penalizes ...
متن کاملDegree of call synchrony during interactions between male snowy tree crickets
Call synchrony has been reported for the snowy tree cricket (Oecanthusfultow), but the degree to which it occurs in natural interactions has not been previously investigated. I recorded acoustic interactions among ten pairs of male snowy tree crickets to determine the degree to which call synchrony occurs. High levels of call synchrony (percent of calls that temporally overlapped another call) ...
