<p class="MsoNormal"><b>About the meeting<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Neuro-inspired Computational Elements (NICE) workshops have been held for the last three years, bringing the very wide ranging scientific disciplines (neuroscience: imaging, theory, algorithms), hardware and applications communities looking
for a common ground to accelerate the development of next generation of computing approaches. The key outcome will be the further clarification of the value proposition for neuro-inspired/neuromorphic computing: why and how could these systems deliver the
performance and efficiency we seek beyond conventional computing approaches? The concurrent task for the workshop is to identify pathways for building and accelerating the evaluation and development of such systems.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you are interested in presenting at the workshop, we ask that you submit an extended abstract (1 page max pdf) during registration. There is an opportunity to upload your abstract at the bottom of the "personal information" page. After
your information is entered you will be asked to pay. The 3 day event costs $275.00 per person, plus processing fees.<o:p></o:p></p>
