BME 4900 FINAL REPORT 39Team 811 AcknowledgementsThere are a number of individuals who have been necessary for this project’snatural progression and eventual completion. The first, and perhaps most obvious ofthese, is Dr. John Enderle of the University of Connecticut’s Biomedical EngineeringDepartment.Doubling as both our project’s sponsor and mentor, Dr. Enderle hasprovided us with clear directions, supplementary help and zealous support that hasmade our job as painless as possible. On this note, Marek Wartenberg has fulfilled hisrole as our advisor by providing guidance and assistance during our projectdevelopment.Secondly, Bruce R. Land of Cornell University has posted an invaluable source onthe construction of analog neurons that has given us a starting point for everything.From here, we were able to gather the basics of analog neurons and gather enough datato construct our own neural analogs.Dr. Land provided us with basic neuralcomponents that have been further modified to construct our own specific alternatives.Dr. Land’s work saved us from a lot of theoretical and research-based work, allowing usto focus on more design-oriented aspects.Lastly, James M. Bower and David Beeman, authors of The Book of GENESIS,supplied us with some theoretical physiology and modeling techniques which haveproved to be absolutely essential to the construction of our analog system. The Book ofGENESIS, in and of itself, has provided our team with a “gold standard” to ensure thatour developing system as close as possible to this already accepted theory anddescription of natural phenomena. Without this work, we would have little to base ourprogression off.

Primarydangers include electrocution, destroying circuitcomponents, and minor burns. No special safetyequipment should be required.The circuitry should be kept clean, particularly ofdust or residues forming on circuit elements orcontacts for inputs, wires, or nodes.
