Introduction
As research continues, the line between humans and machines begins to blur. On the one hand, biological beings and machines are becoming closely-coupled with help of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). Therefore, cyborg intelligence, which aims to tightly integrate artificial intelligence with biological intelligence, is emerging. Cyborg refers to a symbiotic bio-machine system, consisting of both organic and computing components. On the other hand, neuromorphic systems further envisions the closely-coupled connection of the organic and computing components and machines. Neuromorphic systems use digital, analog, and mixed-mode digital/analog circuits and software systems to mimic models of biological neural systems (such as perception, motor control, and multisensory integration). The fine-grained electric mimicry of the nervous system makes the machine side closer to the biological side.The main goal of this summer school is to provide a comprehensive review of current trends of research in the field of neuromorphic systems and cyborg intelligence. The participants are expected to acquire knowledge of various learning framework and computational models for neuromorphic systems and cyborg intelligence and be able to promote research activities in this area.
