First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Computational models of the auditory function have long been pursued and used for compact and predictable description of both perceptual and physiological responses to auditory stimulations. From a physiologist's point of view, building a computational model is a major part of the functional description of a biologically realised system. From an engineering approach, mathematical models of biological systems form the base for building applications of major importance in the fields of signal processing (such as compression, denoising, speech and voice analysis and recognition, etc), assistive technology, etc.
