Features are extracted by filtering the temporal trajectory of spectral energies in each critical band of speech by a bank of finite impulse response (FIR) filters. Impulse responses of these filters are derived from a modified Gabor envelope in order to emulate asymmetries of the temporal receptive field (TRF) profiles observed in higher level auditory neurons. We obtain $11.4\% $ relative improvement in word error rate on OGI-Digits database and, $3.2\%$ relative improvement in phoneme error rate on TIMIT database over the MRASTA technique.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2008/sgarimel-idiap-rr-08-25.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2008/sgarimel-idiap-rr-08-25.ps.gz}, ipdmembership={speech}, }
