Abstract :
In this model, the human cochlea is divided into six equal sections; the acoustic wave is studied in one section. The aim of the circuit is an implementation of the equations from the model. In order to make all the necessary operations, the arithmetic unit is able to do products, additions and transferences between registers and memories.<>
