Predicting a bird's song from neural activity

Caption

Illustration of the experimental workflow. As a male zebra finch sings his song—which consists of the sequence, "1, 2, 3,"— he thinks about the next syllable he will sing ("4"). The bird’s neural activity is recorded and the local field potentials are extracted. The researchers then analyze features of these signals to predict what syllable the is thinking of singing next.
