Abstract

Neuromorphic signal processing can enhance the efficiency of IoT sensors and support edge compu-ting solutions. However, the preprocessing of the encoded signals, to be transferred to a spiking neu-ral network, requires high computational power. In this work, we propose an energy-efficient hard-ware-based solution for the analysis of rapidly changing vibration or acoustic signals. This was in-spired by the human cochlear implant, which exploits the plasticity of the human brain to enable clear speech recognition even on a very limited number of frequency channels (16-22). Our proposed hard-ware consists of a 16-channel frequency-selective MEMS cantilever array, and a VO² memristor nanogap based oscillator for amplitude sensitive spiking signal generation. To test our solution, we used Google Command Speech benchmark database.
