abstract: |-
  The Double Cone Model (DCM) is a model
  of how the brain transforms sensory input to
  motor commands through successive stages of
  data compression and expansion. We have
  tested a subset of the DCM on speech recognition, production and imitation. The experiments show that the DCM is a good candidate
  for an artificial speech processing system that
  can develop autonomously. We show that the
  DCM can learn a repertoire of speech sounds
  by listening to speech input. It is also able to
  link the individual elements of speech to sequences that can be recognized or reproduced,
  thus allowing the system to imitate spoken
  language.
