Here’s the finished Neural Pulser module. There’s a master clock with whole, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8th divisions. The two banks of mini-slide switches are 2 binary rate multiplier based pattern generators. The outputs of all these divisions and multiples are patched to the 4 ‘Neurons’ (top half of panel) using stackable mini-connectors. Each Neuron has 2 Excitatory inputs and 1 Inhibitory input. A 3-way switch lets you select between the logic functions:  not / or / and.  So you get 4 different simultaneous patterns based on the same clock with related variations at the flick of a switch.  Zoom
