| - | The roots of the Pop Neuron lies in the [[http://solarbotics.net/bftgu/starting_nvnet_bicore.html|bicore]] oscillator used by the [[http://solarbotics.net/bftgu/default.htm|BEAM]] (Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics) robotic group for their BEAMbots. Each Pop Neuron is one half of this circuit with the extra option to easily change the resistor-capacitor components. The bicore oscillator is a classic Schmitt-Trigger oscillator, with all components used twice.\\ | + | The roots of the Pop Neuron lies in the [[http://solarbotics.net/bftgu/starting_nvnet_bicore.html|bicore]] oscillator used by the [[http://solarbotics.net/bftgu/default.htm|BEAM]] (Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics) robotic group for their BEAMbots.

| + | With each Pop Neuron one can build one half of this circuit by plugging in the resistor-capacitor components to the board. \\ | ||

| - | The core ides of the analog computer Confetti was to provide a highly flexible system for using and combining all individual boards. One can patch all modules via a build in bus or in using the patching wires in combination with the sockets on the boards. With these ideas realized in the Pop Neuron, too one can easily use two different neurons to build an oscillator, or with some more neurons one can build a whole analog artificial network.\\ | + | The core ides of the analog computer Confetti was to provide a highly flexible system for using and combining all individual boards of this system.

| - | One can use these neurons to generate pattern and structures for all kind of sequencers and also for synthesize sound for musical instruments similar like the one David Tutor used for his [[http://www.lovely.com/titles/cd1602.html|Neural Synthesis Nos. 6-9]] in 1993. A description of his work by Forrest Warthman and Mimi Johnson is on the artist web-side: [[https://davidtudor.org/Articles/warthman.html|The Neural Network Synthesizer]]. His neural synthesizer was based on a RC-circuit in combination of the [[https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/intel/etann|80170NX Electrically Trainable Analog Neural Network]] chip by Intel.\\ | + | |
