Abstract:

The sound frontier is a state of the senses. It is the ability to perceive a physical presence of sounds circulating in space and time: actions, emotions, and behaviors. In pursuit of analogies of ancestral history and ceremonial practice, Wixaritari ritual experts from Tierra Azul use the word ‘enierika to refer to vision-acoustics and nierika to speak of acoustic-visions at the liminal, divine intersticesof hearing. The rebirth of life is about gaining agency to set and control the duration of rainfall, and master the cycles of darkness-light. As a result of cosmopolitics, the divine iconici

El objetivo de esta investigación es aproximar al lector al conocimiento de la cerámica, los materiales, la acústica y la simbología presentes en la botella antropomorfa de triple elipsoide comunicante con doble silbato de la cultura Bahía de la República del Ecuador mediante el estudio multidisciplinar del artefacto sonoro. En dicho estudio se planteó la aplicación de una metodología cualitativa y cuantitativa desarrollada a través de la investigación documental, complementada con técnicas de análisis d

Abstract:

The hearing of mammals spans extremes unseen in any other taxa and this diversity is best exemplified by the cetaceans. Conflicting hypotheses explain the evolution of the cetaceans’ extreme acoustic biology. Both lower- and higher-frequency hearing limits have been suggested to be ancestral for cetaceans. We investigate this intriguing problem further, through a comparative analysis across 161 extinct and extant mammal species. We show that ancestral whales and mysticetes do not have ultra-low lower frequency hearing limits, and their lower hearing limit is more typical, even slightly higher

Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of my work on the central auditory system of fish. It focuses on my comparative analyses of a nucleus that receives input from the inner ear, the descending nucleus, and more specifically on that part of the descending nucleus supplied by the otolith end organs, the dorsal descending nucleus. I begin by summarizing my initial work on the bowfin, Amia calva, and go on to explain the importance of taking a comparative approach to understanding ancestral and specialized anatomical and putative functional characteristics of the dorsal descending nucleus in modern bo

Abstract:

The material of the study is the travel notes Egyptian Diaryby F.Werfel and Voices of Marrakeshby E.Canetti, two Austrian writers of Jewish origin. The task of both authors is defined as a re-turn to national and cultural origins and reconstruction of the ‘oriental myth’, which, in their opinion, serves the basis of any aesthetic search. It is concluded that the writers are united by the principle of text fragmenta-tion, namely the transition from one space to another and overcoming of the boundary both locally and in terms of spiritual development.

Abstract:

The architecture in the title refers to physical buildings, spaces, and walls. Dominant architectural culture prefers minimalist environments that contradict the information setting needed for the infant brain to develop. Much of world architecture after World War II is therefore unsuitable for raising children. Data collected by technological tools, including those that use AI for processing signals, indicate a basic misfit between cognition and design. Results from the way AI software works in general, together with mobile robotics and neuroscience, back up this conclusion. There exists a cr

Abstract:

The ability to track syntactic relationships between words, particularly over distances (“nonadjacent dependencies”), is a critical faculty underpinning human language, although its evolutionary origins remain poorly understood. While some monkey species are reported to process auditory nonadjacent dependencies, comparative data from apes are missing, complicating inferences regarding shared ancestry. Here, we examined nonadjacent dependency processing in common marmosets, chimpanzees, and humans using “artificial grammars”: strings of arbitrary acoustic stimuli composed of adjacent (nonhumans

Abstract:

In primates, different vocalizations are produced, at least in part, by making different facial expressions. Not surprisingly, humans, apes, and monkeys all recognize the correspondence between vocalizations and the facial postures associated with them. However, one major dissimilarity between monkey vocalizations and human speech is that, in the latter, the acoustic output and associated movements of the mouth are both rhythmic (in the 3- to 8-Hz range) and tightly correlated, whereas monkey vocalizations have a similar acoustic rhythmicity but lack the concommitant rhythmic facial motion.

Abstract:

In Madagascar, a mandôlina is a popular stringed musical instrument in the shape of a portable radio-cassette player. Why go to great lengths to detail this physical image for an instrument that has none of its electronic/acoustic properties? A mandôlina represents the ability to communicate with ancestral spirits, linking imported electronics to the spirit realm.

Abstract:

Underwater vocalizations were recorded during repeated encounters with 16 pods, or stable kin groups, of resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) off the coast of British Columbia. Pods were identified from unique natural markings on individuals. Vocal exchanges within pods were dominated by repetitious, discrete calls. Pods each produced 7–17 (mean 10.7) types of discrete calls. Individuals appear to acquire their pod's call repertoire by learning, and repertoires can persist with little change for over 25 years. Call repertoires differed significantly among pods in the resident population. The
