Table 1 Description of call parameter used in the analysis

From: Mice do not require auditory input for the normal development of their ultrasonic vocalizations

Acoustic parameters

Description

Duration [ms]

Time between onset and offset of call

Amplitude gap [ms]

Duration of breaks in amplitude within call

PF start [Hz]

Start frequency of peak frequency

PF max [Hz]

Maximum peak frequency

PF jump [Hz]

Maximum difference of peak frequency between successive bins

PF max loc

Location of PF max in relation to total call duration (1/duration) * location]

PF jump loc

Location of maximum PF jump in relation to total call duration [(1/duration) * location]

Slope of trend

Factor of linear trend of peak frequency
