pyNAVIS: An open-source cross-platform software for spike-based neuromorphic audio information processing

Abstract

Visualizing the output from event-based sensors and analyzing the information within it is crucial when developing new neuromorphic systems. A novel open-source, cross-platform Python package called pyNAVIS is proposed, which provides a set of functionalities to analyze and process spiking information obtained from neuromorphic cochleas, along with other tools to generate files and datasets for machine learning tasks. This modular package can be integrated in complex and higher-level projects, which could be useful for researchers working in neuromorphic audio processing tasks.
