In this thesis the representation of speech sounds in the auditory system is modeled, in order to determine how the underlying mechanisms affect speech perception, and more specifically to understand the staged transformations at different levels of the auditory system that resu…

In this thesis we investigate the potential of developing a speech recognition system based on a recently introduced artificial neural network (ANN) technique, namely Reservoir Computing (RC). This technique has, in theory, a higher capability for modelling dynamic behaviour com…

Comprehensive audiologic evaluation includes a variety of tests that provide a determination of the type of hearing loss. Among these tests are tests of word recognition. Many speech perception tests have been developed over the past half century to assess different aspects of s…
