IBN 98-03836 Shihab Shamma, P.I. This project is a series of annual 3-week hands-on workshops held in Telluride, Colorado. Neuromorphic engineering is a discipline which reverses the usual thrust of computational neuroscience, orienting itself toward the derivation of engineered devices from an understanding of the design principles of the nervous system. In so doing, it is having a unique beneficial effect on neurobiology research. On the one hand, it represents a departure from the usual engineering principles based on linear analog devices or unabashedly digital ones (e.g. most modern computers), and hence is contributing to development of robots which perform smoothly under highly variable external conditions the way biological organisms do. On the other hand, it drives biological research because biologists typically cannot supply (and may tend to avoid) the level of quantitative detail of questioning asked about the way the nervous system is designed. The workshop involves tutorial-style lectures on general as well as practical topics in neuromorphic engineering, practical courses on VLSI, circuits, "floating gate" technology; both short and long hands-on projects (e.g building robots with neuromorphic control circuits). Funding is partially supporting travel for faculty and students for a total of around 60 persons (faculty, students, staff).

IBN 98-03836 Shihab Shamma，P.I. 这个项目是一系列每年在科罗拉多特柳赖德举行的为期3周的实践研讨会。 神经形态工程学是一门与计算神经科学的通常方向相反的学科，它将自己定位于从对神经系统设计原理的理解中推导出工程设备。 在这样做的过程中，它对神经生物学研究产生了独特的有益影响。一方面，它代表了对基于线性模拟设备或毫不掩饰的数字设备（例如，大多数现代计算机）的通常工程原理的背离，因此有助于开发在高度可变的外部条件下平稳运行的机器人，就像生物有机体一样。 另一方面，它推动了生物学研究，因为生物学家通常无法提供（并且可能倾向于避免）有关神经系统设计方式的定量细节。 该研讨会包括关于神经形态工程的一般和实践主题的辅导式讲座，超大规模集成电路，电路，“浮栅”技术的实践课程;短期和长期的实践项目（例如，用神经形态控制电路构建机器人）。 资金部分支持教师和学生的旅行，总共约60人（教师，学生，工作人员）。
