Neuroscience meets Robotics

Posted by Hemos on from the fun-with-science dept.

Neuromorph writes "In Telluride, at the The Telluride 1999 NSF Workshop on Neuromorphic Engineering, in the middle of the Rockies, 50 neuromorphic engineers from across the world will spend the next few weeks developing ground-breaking neurologically inspired technology. The projects include silicon aVLSI retinas and cochleas, autonomous flying blimps, robotic legs and hands, electronic cortical models and synthetic epistemology. " Alright. Someone's gonna have to inflitrate and get pictures and updates-send over my way.

    Hemos! Here's your simple plan for good coverage of this story:


    1. Identify the news agency local to the conference.
    2. Email/write/call them, and propose a trade: they provide slashdot with pictures, interviews, etc. Slashdot provides their website with many many thousands of hits.
    3. Offer to mirror their website, so we can all look at the borgs being built even after their site has been blown out of the the water.

  2. 50 neuromorphic engineers by jabber · · Score: 2

    My God Jim! They're dead!

    50 sounds like a large number. Does the CDC know there is an outbreak of neuromorphosis? What are they doing about it??

    Why are these engineers all going there? Is there a cure or vaccine we've not been told about? Maybe there's a neuromorphosis treatment center there..

    Anyway, it sounds serious. And you read it here first folks!!

    Oh, wait... Neuromorphic.. nevermind.
