Abstract
Auditory signal processing relies on feedback mechanisms between mechanical and electrical systems that work together to enhance acoustic conditioning. In this paper a nonlinear amplification mechanism in the mosquito's auditory system is exploited as a model of inspiration. An acoustic system that provides active amplification of sound was developed using feedback computation integrated with a MEMS microphone to implement the concept. Experimental results generated by a purpose-built embedded system show signal amplification and hysteresis which replicate the response shown by the biological mosquito’s hearing system as a function of input sound intensity.
