Capo Caccia opens its 10th edition with a great scientific program

Date: 
Thursday, 2016, March 24

Fantastic program at the 10th edition of the CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop series!

This unconventional, interdisciplinary, and exciting workshop, sponsored by CSN II, brings together experts in neuroscience, neuromorphic engineering, cognitive sciences and robotics to discuss about the open problems in these fields and attempt to find routes to their resolution with practical hands-on hacking afternoon, evening, and night sessions, in a beautiful setting on the Mediterranean sea. http://capocaccia.iniforum.ch/2016/
