design and fabricate artificial neural systems whose organizing
principles are based on those of biological nervous systems. Over
the past 18 years, this research community has focused on the
understanding of low-level sensory processing and systems
infrastructure; efforts are now expanding to apply this knowledge
and infrastructure to addressing higher-level problems in
perception, cognition, and learning. In this 3-week intensive
workshop and through the Institute for Neuromorphic Engineering
(INE), the mission is to promote interaction between senior and
junior researchers; to educate new members of the community; to
introduce new enabling fields and applications to the community;
to promote on-going collaborative activities emerging from the
Workshop, and to promote a self-sustaining research field.<br>

workshop will include background lectures on systems and cognitive
neuroscience (in particular sensory processing, learning and
memory, motor systems and attention), practical tutorials on
emerging hardware design, mobile robots, hands-on projects, and
special interest groups. Participants are required to take part
and possibly complete at least one of the projects proposed. They
are furthermore encouraged to become involved in as many of the
other activities proposed as interest and time allow. There will
be two lectures in the morning that cover issues that are
important to the community in general. Because of the diverse
range of backgrounds among the participants, some of these
lectures will be tutorials, rather than detailed reports of
current research. These lectures will be given by invited
speakers. Projects and interest groups meet in the late
afternoons, and after dinner. In the early afternoon there will be
tutorials on a wide spectrum of topics, including analog VLSI,
mobile robotics, vision and auditory systems,
central-pattern-generators, selective attention mechanisms,
cognitive systems, etc.<br>

place in the small town of Telluride, 9000 feet high in southwest
Colorado, about 6 hours drive away from Denver (350 miles). Great
Lakes Aviation and America West Express airlines provide daily
flights directly into Telluride. All facilities within the

be very informal and hands-on. Participants are not required to
have had previous experience in analog VLSI circuit design,
computational or machine vision, systems level neurophysiology or
modeling the brain at the systems level. However, we strongly
encourage active researchers with relevant backgrounds from
academia, industry and national laboratories to apply, in
particular if they are prepared to work on specific projects, talk
about their own work or bring demonstrations to Telluride (e.g.
robots, chips, software). Wireless internet access will be
provided. Technical staff present throughout the workshops will
assist with software and hardware issues. We will have a network
of PCs running LINUX and Microsoft Windows for the workshop
projects. We encourage participants to bring along their personal
laptop.</p>
