Neurogranular Synthesis: Granular Synthesis Controlled by a Pulse-Coupled Network of Spiking Neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a method of generating grain parameters of a granular synthesiser in real-time by using a network of artificial spiking neurons, the behaviour of which is determined by user-control of a small number of network parameters; ‘Neurogranular synthesis’. The artificial network can exhibit a wide variety of behaviour from loosely correlated to highly synchronised, which can produce interesting sonic results, particularly with regard to rhythmic textures.

Music neurotechnology is a new research area emerging at the crossroads of neurobiology, engineering sciences and music. Examples of ongoing research into this new area include the development of brain-computer interfaces to control music systems and systems for automatic classification of sounds informed by the neurobiology of the human auditory apparatus. The authors introduce neurogranular s...
متن کاملGranular Sampling Using a Pulse-Coupled Network of Spiking Neurons
We present a new technique for granular sampling using a pulsecoupled network of spiking artificial neurons to generate grain events. The system plays randomly selected sound grains from a given sound sample when any one of a weakly coupled network of up to 1000 neurons fires. The network can exhibit loosely correlated temporal solutions and also collective synchronised behaviour. This leads to...
متن کاملRich dynamics of pulse-coupled spiking neurons with a triangular base signal
This paper presents a spiking neuron circuit with a triangular base signal. The circuit can output rich pulse-trains and the dynamics can be analyzed using a piecewise linear one-dimensional pulse-position map. Applying cross-switching to two neurons we construct a pulse-coupled system whose dynamics can be integrated into a composite map of the pulse position maps of two neurons. The composite...
متن کاملSynchronization Properties of Pulse-Coupled Resonate-and-Fire Neuron Circuits and Their Application
Introduction: Recent advances in neuroscience suggest that spiking neurons in cortical area are classified into two categories: integrators and resonators [1]. These neurons are different in the sensitivity to the timing of stimulus, and therefore show different synchronization properties in pulse-coupled systems. It is interested that the distribution of such neurons are layer-specific and dep...
متن کاملA New Weight-Programming Structure and Procedure for Pulse-Coupled Neural Networks
This paper presents a new method for storing and programming digital weights in a hybrid neural network. The network uses pulse-coupled communication between neurons, compatible with typical CMOS processes, and analog multiplication and addition for modeling neural behavior. Programming of individual neurons is done using existing interconnect, eliminating the need for additional inputs or wiri...
