What is it about?

There are several computational models of the human cochlea that are used for different audio signal processing tasks in the field of hearing science and speech recognition. This study compares the performance of 7 cochlear models (some of which are very mainstream and common models) in response to a set of stimuli to assess their success in reproducing the available psychoacoustic and physiological data. The study gives a detailed overview of the strengths and weaknesses of these models.

Why is it important?

There have been small comparative studies, but to our knowledge, this is the most extensive study that compares many cochlear models with regard to their performance in response to a comprehensive set of stimuli and their computational efficiency.

Perspectives

This is a very good article to be read by all developers or users cof ochlear models because it gives comprehensive information on the performance of these models. The paper will hopefully give a detailed insight to the pros and cons of each model.
