🐒 New #Research featuring several ILCB researchers!

A new annotated dataset of common marmoset vocalizations is now available, offering:
• 253h of high-quality recordings
• 800k+ audio files
• 215k annotated calls
• A trained classifier to support future research
🔗Link: hal.science/hal-05073707v1
A large annotated dataset of vocalizations by common marmosets
<div><p>Non-human primates, our closest relatives, use a wide range of complex vocal signals for communication within their species. Previous research on marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) vocalizations has been limited by sampling rates not covering the whole hearing range and insufficient labeling for advanced analyses using Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Here, we provide a database of common marmoset vocalizations, which were continuously recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz from an animal holding facility housing simultaneously ~20 marmosets in three cages. The dataset comprises more than 800,000 files, amounting to 253 hours of data collected over 40 months. Each recording lasts a few seconds and captures the marmosets' social vocalizations, encompassing their entire known vocal repertoire during the experimental period. Around 215,000 calls are annotated with the vocalization type. We offer a trained classifier to assist future investigations. Finally, we validated our dataset by sampling 700 representative recordings and cross-examining them with four experts.</p></div>

New paper together with Elin Runnqvist and Friedemann Pulvermüller (accepted right before his passing 😔).

Must be the first time I am sad to announce a publication, though I am glad Friedemann still got to see this cool collaborative work published.

Done! Daria successfully defended her PhD thesis!

And that in front of an incredible jury who are the absolute top on this topic: @annaborghi.bsky.social , @pennypexman.bsky.social , @gabriellavigliocco.bsky.social

So proud of her!

bravo of course also to Jo Ziegler and Núria Gala!

🔬✨ New publication from one of our PhD students!

Breathing is automatic—but during speech, the brain takes control. A new study in Scientific Reports reveals the neural mechanisms behind this shift.
