title: An electronic activity integrator for operant conditioning of patterns of neural and muscular activity.
abstract: An activity integrator circuit designed to detect and operantly reinforce patterns of neural and muscular activity is described. An integrator voltage proportional to the weighted sum of multiple input signals reaches a threshold level when the requisite response pattern is emitted. A variety of response patterns may be differentially reinforced, depending on the nature of the integrated signals.
