Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Akira Shimada, President & CEO; hereinafter "NTT") has discovered that artificial neural networks (NNs, *1) that recognize natural sounds (*2) show human-like responses to changes in sound amplitude.
Key Points:
- Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Akira Shimada, President & CEO; hereinafter "NTT") has discovered that artificial neural networks (NNs, *1) that recognize natural sounds (*2) show human-like responses to changes in sound amplitude.
- NTT Laboratories has been conducting studies using artificial neural networks (NN, *1) to understand auditory AM processing.
- AM sounds were fed to NNs trained to recognize natural sounds (*4) and their responses were examined.
- The results suggest that the response to AM sound in animal brains might be a result of adaptation to recognize natural sounds.
