autonomydriver··on Show HN: 32V TENS device from built from scratch under $100
Poor wording, should mean that each finger has a dedicated output, but you are right, they are all tied together

In my searches, yes, I found something like that from an italian university. Sadly can't find the paper now.

Coming in a V2, semester just started again, so I have a little less time for it. Given that I also have some other projects on the way :)

The two BJTs do limit current to 20mA on all finger outputs. Voltage feedback is also set up to ensure maximum 32V. MCU protection, well just a ferrite bead.
autonomydriver··on Analog computing can solve complex equations and use far less energy
Especially interesting for neuromorphic computing hardware. Has already been shown by IBM's TrueNorth and NorthPole chips. Tough in my opinion, a major bottleneck, is the lack of bandwidth on these chips. They can be highly parallel for their circuits, though for example image data, only 28x28 pixels, would already need 784 DACs coming from a digital source.
