Abstract

Engineering acoustic sensors and systems that can be sensitive to small sound levels even when immersed by background noise may require out-of-the-box thinking. Biology can provide inspiration for that, allowing the engineering landscape to borrow interesting ideas and thus solve current human problems. Biological sensor and system designs are a result of many million years of evolutionary processes, which make them very-power efficient and well-adapted to perform their function in a living organism. This paper presents a theoretical study of a bio-inspired signal processing concept. The assumption is that by exploiting feedback computation between a front-end acoustic detector and a back-end neuronal based processing, the overall acoustic responsiveness of a sensory system can be controlled and enhanced to target signals of interest. Here, two methods of feedback signal entrainment are compared namely 1:1 and 2:1 resonance modes.
