Number of directed motifs can be increased using real-time motif detection. (A) Cumulative sum of detected motifs for one bird during a 2-h period of driving the behaviour by switching virtual female individuals and the same 2 h on the following day without video. Background colours show which video was playing during that time. Videos change dynamically based on number of motifs. (B) The number of motifs sung was significantly higher (Wilcoxon signed rank test 5% significance level, \(\text {n}=8\), \(\text {W}=33\), \({p}=0.0195\), \({\text{CLES}}=0.625\)) during the 2 h with video compared to the 2-h control without video demonstrating that the video drives them to sing more. (C) The coefficient of variance for the fundamental frequency showed a trend to be lower (Wilcoxon signed rank test 5% significance level, \(\text {n}=7\), \(\text {W}=4\), \({p}=0.0547\), \({\text{CLES}}=0.612\)) during the 2 h with video compared to the 2-h control. Colored lines in (B) and (C) indicate individuals.
