Electronic Auditory Pathway

我们将开发电子构建模块来研究生物信号处理。特别是，我们将研究听觉通路，并开发最准确的生物耳蜗和听神经的电子模型。接下来将是模拟大脑中感觉信号处理过程的电子电路。与当前的模拟和数字信号处理技术相比，用神经尖峰处理信号在噪声、能量消耗和时间信息提取方面具有明显的优势。我们将实现第一个基于峰值的音高和音色感知模型，以及一个嘈杂环境下语音识别的神经模型。

We will develop electronic building blocks to investigate biological signal processing. In particular, we will investigate the auditory pathway and develop the most accurate electronic model of the biological cochlea and auditory nerve. These will be followed by electronic circuits that model the processing of sensory signals in the brain. Processing signals with neural spikes offers distinct advantages over current analogue and digital signal processing techniques in terms of noise, energy consumption and extraction of temporal information. We will implement the first spike-based models of pitch and timbre perception, and a neural model of speech recognition in noisy environments.
