is one of just six instances (experiments
by evolution) in learned vocalization
(human speech is another of this tiny
list of natural experiments). I am an
emeritus professor and no longer maintain
an independent laboratory. However, I
continue to collaborate with colleagues
at Queen’s and elsewhere in all
manner of research about the evolution
of auditory perception and its neural
substrate. Three persistent themes in
my work are the evolution of absolute
pitch, relative pitch, and categorization
of conspecifics communication. |
