This is an intense three-week workshop focused on neuromorphic engineering and computational neuroscience, which takes place in Telluride, a beautiful town in the Colorado mountains, USA.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together young investigators and more established researcher's 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 intense and active, with demonstration systems and hands-on-experience for all participants. These demonstrations are supplemented with lectures, but the focus is on the projects and interactions between participants rather than on passive exposure to knowledge.
