        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
