Title Neuromorphic circuits
Summary Biological systems exhibit remarkable degrees of energy efficiency and robustness that are orders of magnitude better than the best engineering systems today. Complex bio-mechanical systems such as the cochlea and vocal tract can be modelled using electrical circuits and such circuit models can provide insightful engineering perspectives and an intuitive framework for engineers' understanding of biology. These electrical circuit models of biology can also be applied to enhance the performance of engineering systems. This project investigates signal processing architectures and circuits that perform bio-inspired signal analysis/synthesis and encoding. Project scope includes: (1) Circuit modelling of biology; (2) Methods to encode spectral information for neural network training/inference; (3) Computer simulation to verify circuit models and neural network performance.

FYP objectives:
The student will investigate and report on:
(1) Electrical circuit models of the cochlea
(2) Spectral analysis techniques
(3) Cochlear output encoding
(4) Circuit implementation
