Pop Neuron are modules for an electronic analog artificial network based on the Shun-Ichi Amari Oscillator. The circuit was designed by Christian Faubel and Wolfgang Spahn for the installation Symbolic Grounding.
The Pop Neuron System was designed by Wolfgang Spahn.

Pop Neurons are compatible to the analog computer Confetti.

The theoretical model is described in "Dynamics of pattern formation in lateral-inhibition type neural fields" by Shun-Ichi Amari.

For patching the Pop Neurons one can choose between the bus or patching wires. A combination of both is possible.
When using the bus the input and the output jumper of the PN001 have to be set on the corresponding pins. The PN002 and PN003 have fixed buses.
