The Science:

Unlike any other audio compression technology, the Neural Encoding Model (NEM) audio codec is based on a model of how the human brain’s neurons represent auditory signals.  This advanced neurophysiological model is capable of predicting the boundaries of humans’ ability to detect distortions in any audio perception.  As a consequence of the clinically proven accuracy of NEM, the NEM codec is able to precisely allocate the preciously limited bits permitted through cost conscious or bandwidth limited networks.

The Codec Features and Capabilities:

Unique capabilities derived from the NEM approach include:

About the Technologies

· The psychoacoustic models exploited by MP3 and AAC are based on scientific results  form over 70 years ago, whereas the “Neural” Encoding Model benefits from scientific discoveries in the last two decades.  This dramatic difference in perceptual model accuracy translates to substantially more accurate bit allocation for preserving acoustic transparency.

· The NEM and NEMx codecs delivers higher quality at lower bitrates than any other  audio codec.

· The NEM and NEMx codecs increases battery duration compared to any other audio codec because the NEM codec requires less mobile processor resources than any other audio codec.

· NEM is the only codec capable of guaranteeing a minimum audio quality benchmark (true QOS variable bit rate encoding).

· NEM reduces phone memory requirements for downloaded music and reduces network stress for streaming music.
