"We implanted 16/32 site Si-probes in male, adult zebra finches and recorded simultaneously their song and neural activity in HVC; then we used these data to train a long-short-term memory network (LSTM 5) to translate neural activity directly onto song. The goal of the network is to predict the spectral components of the song at a time bin ti, given the values of neural activity features over previous time bins"

I wonder how much better the network performs than a network based on: previous songs, time of day, motility, temperature.
