| contents | Classical auditory-periphery models, exemplified by Bruce et al., 2018, provide high-fidelity simulations but are stochastic and computationally demanding, limiting large-scale experimentation and low-latency use. Prior neural encoders approximate aspects of the periphery; however, few are explicitly trained to reproduce the deterministic, rate-domain neurogram , hindering like-for-like evaluation. We present a compact convolutional encoder that approximates the Bruce mean-rate pathway and maps audio to a multi-frequency neurogram. We deliberately omit stochastic spiking effects and focus on a deterministic mapping (identical outputs for identical inputs). Using a computationally efficient design, the encoder achieves close correspondence to the reference while significantly reducing computation, enabling efficient modeling and front-end processing for auditory neuroscience and audio signal processing applications. |
