2024 Workshop on Neuromorphic Principles in Biomedicine and Healthcare
Revolutionizing Healthcare: Bridging Brains and Technology: Join us for a groundbreaking workshop exploring the convergence of biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and computer science to create a new era of energy-efficient, high-performance medical devices and therapies.
Join an exciting group of biomedical engineers, neural engineers, neuroscientists (computational and physiologists), neuromorphic scientists and engineers, materials scientists, clinicians, and mainstream engineers (e.g., electrical engineers, optical engineers, computer engineers, device engineers) to introduce new brain- and biology-inspired design principles to engineers who are currently investigating non-von Neumann architectures. We expect that these new principles will provide alternative methods to solve relevant problems in the biomedical field, and to do so with significant improvements in the various metrics of the field.
The goal of the workshop is to bring communities together to create a new generation of biomedical and neuroengineering technologies that operate with extreme energy and data efficiency, adaptability, and performance advantages compared to current approaches.
The two-day workshop program will include 2 keynote addresses, 12 invited presentations, poster sessions for graduate student attendees, moderated discussion sessions and meetings with NIH and NSF program managers. The workshop will coincide with the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) conference that will take place in Baltimore, October 23-26. The invited speakers will be asked to address five questions that will lead to Needs, Challenge, Contribution, Impact and Investment Statements for the field. The output of the workshop will be a curated document that presents a roadmap for how neuromorphic engineering can contribute to biomedical technologies, enhance current approaches, promote scientific and engineering discoveries and offer entrepreneurial opportunities for the future.
