We investigate a spike activity of a network of excitable FitzHugh–Nagumo neurons, which is under constant two-frequency auditory signals. The neurons are supplemented with linear frequency filters and nonlinear input signal converters. We show that it is possible to configure the network to recognize a specific frequency ratio (musical interval) by selecting the parameters of the neurons, input filters, and coupling between neurons. A set of appropriately configured subnetworks with different topologies and coupling strengths can serve as a classifier for musical intervals. We have found that the selective properties of the classifier are due to the presence of a specific topology of coupling between the neurons of the network.
