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.</p>

large field; we are looking for leadership in planning
activities and inviting good people in a field.</b> Although
past topic areas have tended to be very broad and
discipline-oriented (e.g., cognition, audition, vision, robotics,
neural interfacing, neuromorphic VLSI, etc.), application-oriented
topic areas (e.g., sensor fusion, game-playing robot, object
recognition, sound localization, human robot interaction, etc.)
are especially desirable.</p>
