The SSC dataset is a spiking version of the Speech Commands dataset release by Google (Speech Commands). SSC was generated using Lauscher, an artificial cochlea model. The SSC dataset consists of utterances recorded from a larger number of speakers under controlled conditions. Spikes were generated in 700 input channels, and it contains 35 word categories from a large number of speakers.

A full description of the dataset and how it was created can be found in the paper below. Please cite this paper if you make use of the dataset.
