Exploring Amazonian Cognitive Diversity at Chana Research Station
The Chana Research Station for Language Sciences and Interculturality is a scientific initiative dedicated to exploring the linguistic, cultural, and cognitive diversity of the Peruvian Amazon. Building on long‐standing local partnerships and collaborations, Chana facilitates research on cognition that extends beyond populations from industrialized democracies, traditionally overrepresented in behavioral sciences. Other populations—such as those …
Preferences for consonance are evident in Indigenous Amazonians with higher, but not lower, levels of global integration
It is unclear how elementary musical preferences are shaped by experience, in part due to the difficulty of measuring the presumptively relevant aspects of human experience. Previous work with an indigenous small-scale society in the Bolivian Amazon - Tsimane' - has failed to find evidence of the preference for canonically consonant to dissonant music intervals that is widespread in Western listeners. Leveraging changing conditions in the Amazon,…
Listening with generative models
Perception has long been envisioned to use an internal model of the world to explain the causes of sensory signals. However, such accounts have historically not been testable, typically requiring intractable search through the space of possible explanations. Using auditory scenes as a case study, we leveraged contemporary computational tools to infer explanations of sounds in a candidate internal generative model of the auditory world (ecological…
Commonality and variation in mental representations of music revealed by a cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries
Music is present in every known society but varies from place to place. What, if anything, is universal to music cognition? We measured a signature of mental representations of rhythm in 39 participant groups in 15 countries, spanning urban societies and Indigenous populations. Listeners reproduced random ‘seed’ rhythms; their reproductions were fed back as the stimulus (as in the game of ‘telephone’), such that their biases (the prior) could be …
Relative pitch representations and invariance to timbre
Information in speech and music is often conveyed through changes in fundamental frequency (f0), perceived by humans as "relative pitch". Relative pitch judgments are complicated by two facts. First, sounds can simultaneously vary in timbre due to filtering imposed by a vocal tract or instrument body. Second, relative pitch can be extracted in two ways: by measuring changes in constituent frequency components from one sound to another, or by esti…
Deep neural network models of sound localization reveal how perception is adapted to real-world environments

Causal inference in environmental sound recognition
Headphone screening to facilitate web-based auditory experiments
Diversity in pitch perception revealed by task dependence
The Fusiform Face Area
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we found an area in the fusiform gyrus in 12 of the 15 subjects tested that was significantly more active when the subjects viewed faces than when they viewed assorted common objects. This face activation was used to define a specific region of interest individually for each subject, within which several new tests of face specificity were run. In each of five subjects tested, the predefined cand…
