Claim Text:
1. A method of formant-based speech reconstruction, the method comprising: at a formant-based auditory processing system configured to synthesize a speech signal based on formant information determined from an audible signal, the auditory processing system including one or more audio sensors: selecting one or more tuples from a non-transitory memory based at least on the one or more formants within an audible signal, wherein each tuple includes a respective formant spectrum value and a respective one or more formant amplitude values; and interpolating the spectrum between the corresponding one or more formants associated with the one or more selected tuples to generate a reconstructed speech signal, wherein the interpolation of the spectrum between the corresponding one or more formants associated with the one or more selected tuples comprises synthesizing one or more voice sections one glottal pulse at a time.
