Annual Telluride Workshop on Neuromorphic Engineering: Telluride, CO 6/27/0407/17/04; 2004-2009

神经形态工程的碲化物年度研讨会最初是由于NSF的一项战略决策而出现的，以促进神经科学和工程之间的接口。 本项目是一个研讨会，重点是设计和制造用于感知，认知和行动的人工神经系统的创新方法，其架构和设计是基于生物神经系统的。为期三周的研讨会包括生物，计算和工程科学领域的主要研究人员的讲座，最先进的实践者的实用教程，动手项目和特殊兴趣讨论小组。在未来5年内，该研讨会的具体目标包括促进科学和技术成果转化为实际的现实世界应用，为社区吸引生物材料，生物工程，微系统和纳米技术的研究人员提供外展服务，增加与国际神经形态研究的合作以促进技术和知识，扩展关键的神经形态基础设施以开发概念，支持学习和记忆的软件和硬件，将神经形态概念纳入新兴技术，如计算媒体，神经接口和信号处理，以及片上处理，协调K-12简单电子和机器人的迷你课程。该研讨会将促进初级和高级研究人员之间的互动，同时教育社区，并促进研究和教学方面的国际合作。

The Annual Telluride Workshop on Neuromorphic Engineering initially arose because of a strategic decision by NSF to facilitate the interface between Neuroscience and Engineering. The present project is a workshop that focuses on innovative approaches to the design and fabrication of artificial neural systems for perception, cognition and action, whose architecture and design are critically base upon a biological nervous system. The three-week long workshop includes lectures from key researchers in the areas of biological, computational, and engineering sciences, practical tutorials from state-of-the-art practitioners, hands-on projects, and special interest discussion groups. The specific goals of the workshop, over the next 5 years, include promoting the transition of scientific and technological results into practical real-world application, providing outreach to enabling communities to attract researchers in biomaterials, bioengineering, microsystems, and nanotechnologies, increasing collaborations with international neuromorphic research to further technologies and knowledge, extending critical neuromorphic infrastructure to develop concepts, software, and hardware that support learning and memory, incorporating neuromorphic concepts into emerging technologies such as computational media, neural interface and signal processing, and on-chip processing, coordinate K-12 mini courses in simple electronic and robotics. The workshop will facilitate interactions between junior and senior researchers, while educating the community, and enabling international collaborations in research and teaching.
