Nengo Summer School Open House

We are excited to announce the open house for this year’s Nengo Summer School. The summer school is an event that brings researchers from all over the world to UW for two weeks to build models of neural systems and to program neuromorphic hardware systems. These researchers learn to use a software toolkit called Nengo, developed here in the UW Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience, to build state-of-the-art AI applications that run on neuromorphic computers. The open house will be an opportunity for the participants to demonstrate what they can build in a short period of time using Nengo and the neuromorphic hardware.
If you would like to know more about neuromorphic computing, theoretical neuroscience, and their applications, come join us!
