💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐦🔬 Dr. Julie Elie at UC #Berkeley won the 2026 Coller-Dolittle prize and $100,000 for decoding the 11 core calls of zebra #finches after more than a decade of observation and #machinelearning analysis.

She confirmed that finches understand the meaning of their own vocalizations by letting #birds tap buttons to select calls. Her work is a step toward two way human animal #communication backed by #AI driven #research.

Why the lack of neurogenesis in adults may be an evolved positive trait in mammals. In song birds:

“... as the new neurons move through the brain, they seem to be pushing or deforming the tissue,” Scott says. “You could imagine that they might be altering the circuit, breaking connections that are the basis of stored memories.”

A decade ago, Danielle and I kept an aviary of finches. Our favorites were the Zebra's for their honking vocalizations and sweet personalities.

I've decided to paint some of the old birds, so keep an eye out! This lady is hanging out at https://xxyxxy.com presently.

Also new: frames!

This is probably my last #ArtFight2024 attack on @udenpah's characters Rhagik and Beepers (https://artfight.net/character/1865735.rhagik).

It's been a fun ArtFight, and I managed to do more attacks than the past two years combined! Plus, I got some really brilliant art for my own characters. I'm leaving the month feelin' pretty dang good :)

I haven't posted for a bit, so here's an #artfight2023 attack I did on Beepers, @udenpah's #ZebraFinch character and all the poser birds who want to be like them.

Good morning to the federation. Peeps and Cheeps always butt heads at breakfast so sometimes Peeps hangs back. #ZebraFinch #BirdsOfMastodon

Good morning to the fediverse. This is what it looks like when Peeps is being picky at breakfast. Hes trying to get around the pellets to pick out the seedtreats. #ZebraFinch #BirdsOfMastodon

Good morning to the federation. Peeps looking a bit scruffy on the left. Odd man out. #ZebraFinch #Birds #PetsOfMastodon

New preprint from us! "Bird song comparison using deep learning trained from avian perceptual judgments" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.23.521425v1 #bioacoustics #AI #research -- We gathered 100,000s of decisions from #zebrafinch about #sounds, and trained #deeplearning to match their judgments

Everyone wants a RoboFinch! https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.14063 (videos included in the Supporting Info at the end) #bioacoustics #zebrafinch #research #robot
