Abstract :
Engineering researchers at Loughborough University and hearing researchers at Essex University are working together to produce a real-time digital electronic pitch extraction system based on neuromorphic principles and implemented in digital technology. This paper reports on the VHDL simulations of the system which demonstrates good and robust pitch tracking across the human voice range
