Abstract :
The authors develop a mathematical model of the mechanisms that the auditory apparatus uses for signal processing. They have studied the model of the peripheral auditory apparatus described by S. Seneff (1985, 1988). They complete it by adding new features such as a pitch detector and a neural synchrony detector module, by modifying some filter parameters, and by integrating it with the variations suggested by P. Cosi et al. (1990). Then, to validate the model, some experimental results are shown
