Abstract :
A new direction is struck with an analysis of natural pulses propagating along a realistic model of a neural membrane. Described below are interesting neural pulses that support the efficient generation of a wide variety of dense combinational and sequential logic. Although not new, the implied circuit elements and connections are interesting and may foreshadow the future of circuit engineering.
