This workshop aims at exploring novel computing architectures for cognitive systems based on the microcircuitry of the neocortex. This approach serves two major goals: Firstly, to understand better the structure and functioning of cortical circuits, and, secondly, to exploit computational principles found in the brain in cognitive software and neuromorphic hardware.
These grand challenges require integrating scientists across different disciplines -- experimental neuroscience, computational modelling, and electrical engineering. Accordingly, at the workshop we will have a mix of presentations regarding
