Workshop 2

Reporting recent modelling, and invertebrate visual neural biology developments, preliminary selection for candidate neural systems towards VLSI realization, relevant to WP1 and WP2.

Task 5.4 The STEP2DYNA Workshop Two was hosted at the University if Lincoln (UoL), Lincoln, United Kingdom on 27th April 2017. It involved reporting recent modelling and invertebrate visual neural biology developments, and the preliminary selection for candidate neural systems towards VLSI realization, relevant to WP1 and WP2.
