Low-dimensional dynamical model for the diversity of pressure patterns used in canary song

During song production, oscine birds produce large air sac pressure pulses. During those pulses, energy is transferred to labia located at the juncture between the bronchii and the trachea, inducing the high frequency labial oscillations which are responsible for airflow modulations, i.e., the utter...

This simple model is built from identifying dynamical elements which allow to reproduce the shape of the pressure pattern corresponding to one syllable type.
