This study investigated whether a singer's coordination patterns differ when singing with an unseen human partner versus an unseen artificial partner (VOCALOID 6 voice synthesis software). We used cross-correlation analysis to compare the correlation of the amplitude envelope time series between the partner's and the participant's singing voices. We also conducted a Granger causality test to determine whether the past amplitude envelope of the partner helps predict the future amplitude envelope of the participants, or if the reverse is true.

Introduction: A singer's or speaker's (voice type) should be appraised based on acoustic cues characterizing their voice. Instead, in practice, it is often influenced by the individual's physical appearance. This is especially distressful for transgender people who may be excluded from formal singing because of perceived mismatch between their voice and appearance.

It has been proposed that social cohesion in gregarious animals is reinforced both by a positive affective state induced by social interactions and by the prevention of a negative state that would be caused by social separation. Opioids that bind to mu opioid receptors (MORs) act in numerous brain regions to induce positive and to reduce negative affective states. Here we explored a potential role for MORs in affective states that may impact flocking behavior in mixed-sex flocks of nonbreeding European starlings, Singing behavior, which is considered central to flock cohesion, and other social behaviors were quantified after infusions of the MOR agonist D-Ala2, N-Me-Phe4, glycinol5-ENK (DAMGO) into either the medial preoptic area (POM) or the nucleus accumbens (NAC), regions previously implicated in affective state and flock cohesion.
