Grand Challenge Questions

Grand Challenge Questions

1) Are we close to understanding systems-level neural computation? Why or Why not?

2) What are the key scientific challenges or technologies for achieving an understanding of neural computation?

3) Are there applications for neuromimetic processing that can lead to better technologies immediately? What are they?

These questions are deliberately left vague and their interpretation is left entirely to each speaker. Our hope is that plenary speakers will use this small workshop as an opportunity to present more speculative notions about how truly Neuromimetic Information Processing and (ultimately) Synthetic Cognition might be achieved and what it will look like.
