“…Understanding the fidelity of the reconstructed audio from the spike trains of the AEREAR2 cochlea spikes can offer insights into the results from various auditory tasks that use the hardware spiking cochlea such as speech recognition (Verstraeten et al, 2005 ; Uysal et al, 2006 , 2008 ; Chakrabartty and Liu, 2010 ), speaker identification (Chakrabartty and Liu, 2010 ; Liu et al, 2010 ; Li et al, 2012 ) localization (Finger and Liu, 2011 ; Liu et al, 2014 ), and sensory fusion (Chan et al, 2012 ; O'Connor et al, 2013 ).…”
