Connectionists: Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements Workshop, March 7-9

[Bruno OLSHAUSEN]

2016 Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements Workshop

March 7-9, 2016

Clark-Kerr Campus, Berkeley, CA

*About the meeting*

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.
