Re: Neural Sound Processing Schemes

[Peter Lennox <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I imagine that the most important signal processing you are after isn't
signal processing at all in the classical sense, in that the 'top-down'
components are so ubiquitous and unquantifiable. That is, recognition of
different pronouncements / acoustic conditions relies on 'context
processing' and hypothesis testing far more than a strict analysis of audio
signal data.
