title: Linear circuits for neural networks and affective computing.
abstract: Biological phenomena are often modeled with software on digital computers, even though the events may be analog in nature. The author describes the use of linear circuitry in two areas of biological simulation: artificial neural networks and affective computing. The operational amplifier, with the assistance of some new analog chips and simple digital microcontrollers, is featured prominently in these linear designs.
