mso-fareast-font-family:"Times

Roman"; color:black">We are now accepting proposals for
Topic Areas in the 2014 Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition
Engineering Workshop. We support topics and projects in
neuromorphic cognition, particularly those that involve solving
challenging ‘everyday’ tasks that incorporate domain-specific
knowledge, exploration, prediction, and problem solving. In
particular, we are interested in projects that hold promise for
addressing Grand Challenge types of problems that do not have
strong solutions of any form, neuromorphic or not. These
Challenge problems should feature long-duration sensorimotor
problems that involve autonomous cognitive decision making.
Examples might include tasks such as learning a new language,
navigating through an unknown environment to locate an object or
reach a desired location, adaptively manipulating unknown or
complex objects in the service of a task, playing a game
requiring inference of hidden information or long-term planning
and learning, etc. Proposals related to hardware technologies
that aim to bring these capabilities to reality are also
encouraged. Topic proposals that aim to solve a particular
problem using the multidisciplinary experience of participants
will be favored over topics that simply gather a large number of
people working within a discipline, or using a single
technology, or approach.</span><span
