Abstract
Among passerines, Bengali finches are known to sing extremely complex courtship songs with three hierarchical structures: namely, the element, the chunk, and the syntax. In this work, we theoretically studied the mechanism of the song of Bengali finches in aides to provide a dynamic view of the development of birdsong learning. We first constructed a model of the Elman network with chaotic neurons that successfully learned the supervisor signal defined by a simple finite-state syntax. Second, we focused on the process of individual-specific increases in the complexity of song syntax. We propose a new learning algorithm to produce the intrinsic diversification of song syntax without a supervisor on the basis of the itinerant dynamics of chaotic neural networks and the Hebbian learning rule. The emergence of novel syntax modifying the acquired syntax is demonstrated.
