Misha Mahowald Prize</a> recognizes outstanding research in
neuromorphic engineering. The Prize is named for the late Misha
Mahowald, one of the most influential pioneers of the field of
neuromorphic engineering.</p>
<p>The award is considered annually.</p>
<p>The competition is open to any individual or research group
worldwide. </p>
<p>The Prize is for a project, not persons.</p>
<p>Entries will likely to fall into one or more of the following
categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>a neuromorphic circuit, device or system</li>
<li>a neuromorphic algorithm or operating principle</li>
<li>a tool which promotes the use of neuromorphic engineering
technology</li>
</ul>
<p>The entry may be a summary of a published or unpublished paper,
or a description of a project, product or service. </p>
<p>Every project will be considered on its own merits, regardless
of the development budget or the group who worked on it. We
strongly encourage everyone who has developed a novel
contribution to the field to enter, no matter how large or small
the project. Projects can be submitted even if they are still in
progress. They will be judged according to the results achieved
at the time of submission.</p>
<p> The submission of revised versions of projects that have been
unsuccessful in previous years, is strongly encouraged. </p>
