Connectionists: Workshop Progress in Brain-Like Computing, February 5-6 2014

[Anders Lansner]

Workshop on Brain-Like Computing, February 5-6 2014


The exciting prospects of developing brain-like information processing is
one of the Deans Forum focus areas.
As a means to encourage progress in this research area a Workshop is
arranged February 5th-6th 2014 on KTH campus in Stockholm. 

The human brain excels over contemporary computers and robots in processing
real-time unstructured information and uncertain data as well as in
controlling a complex mechanical platform with multiple degrees of freedom
like the human body. Intense experimental research complemented by
computational and informatics efforts are gradually increasing our
understanding of underlying processes and mechanisms in small animal and
mammalian brains and are beginning to shed light on the human brain. We are
now approaching the point when our knowledge will enable successful
demonstrations of some of the underlying principles in software and
hardware, i.e. brain-like computing.

This workshop assembles experts, from the partners and also other leading
names in the field, to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in
theoretical, software, and hardware aspects of brain-like computing.
