Frontiers in neuroscience, Volume 17, 18 3 2023, Pages 1125210 Event-driven spectrotemporal feature extraction and classification using a silicon cochlea model. Xu Y, Perera S, Bethi Y, Afshar S, van Schaik A
This paper presents a reconfigurable digital implementation of an event-based binaural cochlear system on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It consists of a pair of the Cascade of Asymmetric Resonators with Fast Acting Compression (CAR-FAC) cochlea models and leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons. Additionally, we propose an event-driven SpectroTemporal Receptive Field (STRF) Feature Extraction using Adaptive Selection Thresholds (FEAST). It is tested on the TIDIGTIS benchmark and compared with current event-based auditory signal processing approaches and neural networks.
