Figure Lengend Snippet: Q 10 as a function of frequency for nine chinchillas, the probe frequency ranges from 1 to 12 kHz. The (blue) filled dots connected with dashed lines are the calculated mean values. The error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean; they are omitted for single measured data points. The red line is calculated with a RLOESS function (MATLAB).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison between directly obtained Q factors (Fig. 8) and Q factors from an estimated ROEX filter function using a power spectrum model for masking. A Q 10 and B Q ERB. Q values for three cats are plotted against probe frequencies ranging from 0.5 to 14 kHz. The blue symbols indicate Q values from CAP; the red symbols are extracted from the fitted ROEX filter function. The lines are trend lines calculated with a RLOESS function available in MATLAB. The black line in A is the relationship between the sharpness of the two trend lines (ROEX-Q 10/direct-Q 10).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Dependence of Q factors on probe frequency in cats. A Q 10 values for four cats are plotted against probe frequencies ranging from 0.5 to 14 kHz. The blue-filled dots connected with dashed lines are the mean values. The error bars indicate the standard errors of the mean; they are omitted for single data points. The red line is a trend line calculated with a RLOESS function (MATLAB). B Same as A, but for Q ERB for three cats.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison between left/right single-sided and (symmetrical) double-sided noise masker MTCs. The measured probe frequencies are: A 5 kHz (L p = 35 dB), B 8 kHz (L p = 30 dB), C 4 kHz (L p = 50 dB), and D 8 kHz (L p = 40 dB). The trend lines are obtained with RLOESS and spline smoothing (MATLAB); the dashed blue line and blue circles denote the standard double-sided condition, the red line and left triangles denote the left single-sided masker condition, and the green line and right triangles denote the right single-sided masker condition. The masker reference levels are: A asym L = 31 dB, asym R = 32 dB, sym = 28 dB; B asym L = 26 dB, asym R = 28 dB, sym = 23 dB; C: asym L = 30 dB, asym R = 37 dB, sym = 30 dB; D asym L = 26 dB, asym R = 40 dB, sym = 31 dB.

Article Title: A Daily Oscillation in the Fundamental Frequency and Amplitude of Harmonic Syllables of Zebra Finch Song

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0082327

Figure Lengend Snippet: A ) The FF for 1 syllable across 4 days of singing, each point represents one rendition of the syllable. The black lines are RLOESS fits. B ) The amplitude for the same syllable and same renditions as in A.

Article Snippet: The daily time course of the mean fundamental frequency and amplitude of each syllable was calculated using the MATLAB smoothing curve function rloess, a non-parametric regression method related to loess regression, which decreases the weighting of outlying data points allowing better curve fits when there are long gaps between data points (for example when there is an hour of no singing in the day).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Plotted are the slopes of the RLOESS fits for the first three hours of the day and the last three hours of the evening- each point represents the slope of 1 syllable from 1 animal from one morning or evening. Note the apparent ‘v’ shape of the data is an artifact of the algorithm used to make all symbols visible on the graph and does not connote information.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Each symbol represents the slope of the RLOESS curve of FF or amplitude of one syllable from one animal on one day. A ) There was a trend for evening slope of FF to become positive immediately following 5-HT lesion (while song was recovering but 5-HT was still depleted, p=0.0582 when compared to baseline slope). Oscillations were indistinguishable from baseline condition by 5 days after lesion surgery, at which point 5-HT levels continued to be drastically reduced. Saline controls showed no similar effects. B ) Evening slope of amplitude increased significantly after 5-HT lesion (p=0.0075 when compared to baseline slope). Similarly to FF, the trend of the evening slope of amplitude to become positive ceased to persist 5 days after lesion surgery.
