  • Abstract
    The purpose of this study is to design a mixed-signal device capable of producing an output signal modeling a neuronal action potential. While targeting generalized lab use for education, the neuron emulator has been designed and tested with a versatile voltage, current, and patch clamp - the Universal Clamp. Results from this testing have been reported and used to improve performance.
