Abstract :
Presents an analog CMOS circuit simulation of a model for the sensory transduction in the mammalian cochlea. This model consists of basilar membrane, inner hair cell and spiral ganglion of the auditory nerve system. It employs subthreshold CMOS technology and an analog circuit which results in a real time, micropower device. The results of its response to sinusoidal excitation simulation are shown
