Abstract :
A novel approach to signal processing in cochlea implants using bio-inspired models is proposed. The novel architecture uses spike-based signal processing eliminating the need for DSPs. The programmability is achieved using redundancy with digital control avoiding ADCs altogether. The neuromorphic cochlea implant should reduce both power and size to a level of an implantable system
