Abstract

This paper describes early experiments, which attempt to reconfigure the sound of a breath using a network of artificial spiking cortical neurons. The connectivity of the network evolves according to a spike timing dependent plasticity algorithm and the instrument triggers grains of sound from recordings of the breath when any of the neurons fire.

This paper was accepted for publication at EvoMUSART 2008. Unfortunately, it wasn’t published due to a communication problem.
