Connectionists: GdR BioComp - Banyuls, France - May 3-7

[Timothée Masquelier]

The next BioComp conference will take place in Banyuls, in the south of
France, from Sunday 3th May evening until Thursday 7th May noon.
The goal of the BioComp conference is to facilitate interdisciplinary
exchanges around bio-inspired hardware systems. The conference associates
contributions from all concerned disciplines: biology, computational
neuroscience, mathematics, computer architecture and computer systems,
microelectronics, nanotechnology and physics.
