Applications:Neural Interface, Biological Models:Neural, Technologies:Mixed mode Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:00:00 +0100 http://ine-web.org/telluride-conference-2012/telluride-2012/index.html Applications are invited for a three-week summer workshop that will be held in Telluride, Colorado from Sunday July 1st - Saturday July 21st, 2012. This three-week intensive workshop and is intended to promote interaction between senior and junior researchers; educate new members of the community; introduce new enabling fields and applications to the community; promote on-going collaborative activities emerging from the Workshop, and promote a self-sustaining research field. Workshops:Telluride Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:00:00 +0100 http://ncs.ethz.ch/events/2012-capocaccia-cognitive-neuromorphic-engineering-workshop Themes will include cortical development, multi-scale neural circuit experimental and modeling approaches, state-dependent computation, brain-machine interfaces, VLSI implementations of neural processing systems, plasticity in real and silicon neural systems, memristive devices and phase-change materials, and of course cognitive behaving neuromorphic systems.

The overall so-called pulse communication subgroup (ICs and FPGA) delivers a factor 25–50 more event transmission rate than other current neuromorphic communication infrastructures.
