Overview
Explore the fascinating intersection of biology and physics in birdsong production in this lecture by Ana Amador from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This first class from the ICTP-SAIFR School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition delves into the mechanisms behind how birds create their distinctive songs. Learn about the physiological structures involved in avian vocalization and the physical principles that govern sound production in birds. The lecture is part of a broader educational program scheduled for March 10-21, 2025, focusing on understanding fundamental aspects of life origins, behavioral patterns, and cognitive processes in animals.
