Circuit notes by Joe Burdo
Indecisive NeuroBuggy
A buggy that drives into the light and reverses out of every shadow.
Stubborn NeuroBuggy
Two oscillators and two touch sensors make a buggy that paces between objects.
Paranoid NeuroBuggy
One rod photoreceptor and a split motor circuit make a buggy that follows a light halo.
Timid NeuroBuggy
A buggy that moves in the light and stops when the light disappears.
Insecure NeuroBuggy
A touch sensor on the left front keeps this buggy circling and nudging away from walls.
Interneuron Potentiation
How changing synaptic strength lets a NeuroBytes interneuron hold a simple memory.
Disinhibition
Two tonic neurons and a sensory input produce an irregular firing pattern.
Simple Rod Photoreceptor Circuit
A rod photoreceptor, an interneuron, and a flashlight show how dark output works.
