An electronic activity integrator for operant conditioning of patterns of neural and muscular activity.
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.
