audio: Recording of three sound patterns used to test female crickets' behavior and brain neurons. Female crickets' brain neurons do not respond to the first and the last pattern, which are composed of very short or very long sound pulses. But they do respond to the second test pattern, which is similar to the temporal pattern of the male calling song. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Sept. 11 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by S. Schöneich at University of Cambridge in Cambridge, UK, and colleagues was titled, "An auditory feature detection circuit for sound pattern recognition." view more
