Event-Based Neuromorphic Systems

Acknowledgments

This book would never taken form without the consistent support of the US National Science Foundation (NSF) in funding the Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop and the help of the EU FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) program in supporting the European CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop. These unique, hands-on workshops were the places where many of the ideas developed in this book were first discussed and prototyped. For many neuromorphic engineers, these workshops are a highlight of the year and a kind of working holiday time that other venues, such as IEEE conferences, cannot replace.

The editors and contributors to Event-Based Neuromorphic Systems acknowledge the following people for reading and commenting on various chapters in the book: Luca Longinotti, Bjorn Beyer, Michael Pfeiffer, Josep Maria Margarit Taulé, Diederik Moeys, Bradley Minch, Sim Bamford, Min-Hao Yang, and Christoph Posch. They acknowledge Srinjoy Mitra for his contribution to the on-chip AER circuit chapter, Philipp H¨afliger for his contribution to the synapse chapter, Raphael Berner for his contribution to the retina chapter, and Anton Civit for his contribution to the hardware infrastructure chapter. They acknowledge Kwabena Boahen for use of the material in the communications chapter; Diana Kasabov for proofreading and corrections; and Daniel Fasnacht for setting up the original DokuWiki at the start of the book project.
