The 1996 NSF Workshop on Neuromorphic Engineering
(June 24 - July 14, 1996)
Telluride Elementary School 447 Columbia Ave., Telluride,
Colorado, USA, 81435
This is a three-week workshop focused on neuromorphic engineering.
This is a new field of engineering that is based on the design and fabrication
of artificial neural systems, such as vision chips, head-eye systems, and
roving robots, whose architecture and design principles are based on those
of biological nervous systems. The goal of the workshop is to bring together
young investigators and more established researchers from academia with
their counterparts in industry and national laboratories, working on both
neurobiological as well as engineering aspects of sensory systems and sensory-motor
integration. The workshop is "active", with demonstration systems
and hands-on-experience for all participants. These demonstrations will
be supplemented with lectures, but the focus will be on the research tools
and projects and interactions between participants rather than on passive
exposure to knowledge.
This workshop is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the
Center for Neuromorphic Systems Engineering at the California Institute
of Technology.
