Then we compared the BOLD response to vocal, semi-vocal and non-vocal melody perception, and found greater activity for voice perception in the right sensorimotor cortex.
While human communicative vocal non-speech, human non-communicative vocal non-speech, rhesus macaque vocalizations, and human non-vocal sounds are all biological non-speech signals, we recognize that these non-speech sounds vary in the extent to which they share other key properties with speech.
For instance, speech is a signal produced by a human source (as are human non-speech vocalizations and human non-vocal sounds) and is produced by the vocal tract (as are human non-speech vocalizations and rhesus macaque vocalizations).
No significant difference was noted between the cognitive values of vocal and non-vocal music.
Are these also in play for non-vocal timbre sequences?
Therefore, comparisons of vocal versus non-vocal learners and simple versus complex calls reveal the nature of emotional involvement in different forms of vocal communication.
To assess this hypothesis, we designed four auditory discrimination experiments targeting pitch, non-vocal and vocal timbre, and loudness.
If not quite Watson's "sub-vocal tremor of the larynx", thought is non-vocal language.
The anterior forebrain pathway, once thought to be exclusive to the vocal learner, is found in a less specialized form in the non-vocal learner.
Then there are non-vocal characteristics; the use of language, the way that you speak.
Thus, there exists an enormous corpus of almost any kind of audio events including non-vocal as well as vocal atypical reactions for building up statistical recognition models.
