Abstract
The principles of organization of neural systems arose from the combination of the performance requirements for survival and the physics of neural elements. From this perspective, the extraction of time-domain information from auditory data is a challenging computation; the system must detect changes in the data which occur in tens of microseconds, using neurons which can fire only once per several milliseconds. Neural approaches to this problem succeed by closely coupling algorithms and implementation, unlike standard engineering practice, which aims to define algorithms that are easily abstracted from hardware implementation.
