Resumen:
We present a model for the activities of neural circuits in a nucleus
found in the brains of songbirds: the robust nucleus of the
archistriatum (RA). This is a fore brain song control nucleus
responsible for the phasic and precise neural signals driving vocal and
respiratory motor neurons during singing. Driving a physical model of
the avian vocal organ with the signals generated by the neural model,
we produce synthetic songs. This allows us to show that certain
connectivity architectures in the RA give rise to a wide range of
different vocalizations under simple excitatory instructions.
