Abstract:Real-time classification of objects from active sonar echo-location requires a tremendous amount of computation, yet bats and dolphins perform this task effortlessly. To bridge the gap between human-engineered and biosonar system performance, we developed special-purpose hardware tailored to the parallel distributed nature of the computation performed in biology. The implemented architecture contains a cochlear filterbank front-end performing time-frequency feature extraction, and a kernel-based neural classif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
