The chapter "Sounds from Neural Networks" by Wolfgang Spahn is about the Confetti Neuron.\\ |
| + | The Confetti Neuron is the successor and a further development of the [[pop_neuron:pop_neuron_main|Pop Neuron]]. It's design focus is on a better sound quality, less power consumption and easier handling than the Pop Neuron.\\ | ||

| The option to change the integrator circuit on the board by plugging in capacitors with different values (from 100pF up to 1000µF) and the option to connect at the input as many different sources as one wants makes the Confetti Neuron highly flexible to use in all kind of applications.\\ | The option to change the integrator circuit on the board by plugging in capacitors with different values (from 100pF up to 1000µF) and the option to connect at the input as many different sources as one wants makes the Confetti Neuron highly flexible to use in all kind of applications.\\ | ||
| - | Thus one can use the boards in combination with the plug-in slots of the Confetti Neuron module to create an analog neuron. In adding resistors and capacitors to it one can build an excitatory (EXC) or an inhibitory (INH) neuron out of a Confetti Neuron 501 module, depending on the jumper setting.\\ | + | Thus one can use the boards in combination with the plug-in slots of all the analog computer module to create an analog neural network.

| To patch two neurons for an oscillator one has to connect the output of the first neuron to the input of the second neuron and vice versa. Depending on the frequency various resisters could be used. The value should be more than 5kOhm and could be up to 12MOhm. The capacitor on the board should have a value from 100pF to 1µF.\\ | To patch two neurons for an oscillator one has to connect the output of the first neuron to the input of the second neuron and vice versa.
