The 2012 CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop
Capo Caccia, Sardinia, Italy, Sunday 2012-04-29 to Saturday 2012-05-12
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for international EU and non-EU researchers to discuss and explore concepts and methods necessary for advancing neuromorphic systems towards a more cognitive quality of behavior. We take as our foundation participants members of a group of already related EU groups that are presently and recently funded; a number of persons who have been involved in the US NSF Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop; and a number of invited guests. About 50% of the participants are doctoral and post-doctoral scientists.
The workshop is organized by the Institute of Neuroinformatics and is supported by both EU and US organizations.
Workshop Program
The 2012 Workshop will last two weeks and will involve both exciting interactive discussions and hands-on projects.
The workshop schedule is not fully defined yet, but the themes that we will focus on this year 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.
Morning sessions will be characterized by discussions on a specific problem of the day, while afternoons and evenings will focus on projects and tutorials.
To get an idea of the amazing amount of work that gets done during this workshop, explore the 2011 work-group pages.
Registration and mailing list
The workshop registration is not open yet. We will send an announcement as soon as we organize it. To make sure you receive this announcement and all other announcements relating to the capocaccia workshop please sunscribe to the workshop annuncements mailing list
Workshop baby-sitting Service
In an effort to encourage mothers (and fathers and families) that are pursuing an academic career to participate, we are willing to help setting up a Workshop Babysitting Service to all registered participants (see last year pages for an example).
CSN Fellowhips
As in previous years, the Convergent Science Network of Biomimetic and Biohybrid Systems (CSN) is supporting fellowships for PhD students and post-docs that are interested in attending this year's workshop. Details are here.
