About This Project
Parrots can "talk" like humans. However, whether their complex vocalizations follow syntactic rules and convey semantic meanings remains unclear. We propose to address this question by using the latest wireless methods to simultaneously record vocalizations, social events, and physiology of all birds in a complex social network. We will then use deep learning to map the bird’s vocalizations to its physiology and social experiences, a long-held dream of animal communication researchers.
