BRIDGING BRAINS AND BIOACOUSTICS
Welcome to Bridging Brains and Bioacoustics, a virtual seminar series that brings together early career researchers studying the neuroscience and ecology of animal sound. We meet each month for two talks on a theme, ranging from musicality to machine learning across a wide array of species.
