An Efficient and Perceptually Motivated Auditory Neural Encoding and Decoding Algorithm for Spiking Neural Networks

The auditory front-end is an integral part of a spiking neural network (SNN) when performing auditory cognitive tasks.It encodes the temporal dynamic stimulus, such as speech and audio, into an efficient, effective and reconstructable spike pattern to facilitate the subsequent processing.However, most of the auditory front-ends in current studies h
