Vocal communication is integral to the social behavior of vertebrates, with birds and mammals exhibiting especially sophisticated vocal interactions. Investigating these interactions and their neural underpinnings requires experimental designs that minimally disrupt natural behaviors. In this context, fully automated experimental setups are highly advantageous. Bats, known for their complex vocal repertoire and learning capabilities, engage in rapid vocal exchanges, posing a challenge for real-time analysis and interaction. Our research aimed to develop an automated MATLAB® based tool that lev
