2017 IEEE Symposium on Neuromorphic Cognitive Computing (SNCC’17) will be a
part of the 2017 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI
2017). The SNCC’17 will provide an important platform for the researchers to
exchange the ideas and to bring new theoretical and technical advances in
neuromorphic cognitive computing, and in turn to benefit highly demanded
application areas across neuromorphic engineering, neuromorphic circuits
design, machine learning, BCI, cyborg intelligence, cognitive robotics, etc.
