Hands-On Workshop on
Neurocomputing Systems

The workshop consists of parallel working sessions to explore neurocomputing technology and a mini symposium on Monday afternoon, where Ph.D. students can present their current research in neurocomputing ranging from hardware to algorithms. The 4 day working sessions will focus on real-time embedded / robotics applications, for which we will provide the neurocomputers SpiNNaker and IBM’s TrueNorth, various event-based vision sensors, multiple small mobile robots, and neuro-modelling software environments such as nest:: and Nengo.
