The Misha Mahowald Prize recognizes outstanding research in neuromorphic engineering

http://mahowaldprize.org/

"The competition is open to any individual or research group worldwide. A description of any type of hardware, software or algorithm may be submitted.

Hopefully Peter and/or the BrainChip team gets nominated!


2016 Jury

• Prof. Dr. Steve Furber, University of Manchester
• Dr. Dan Hammerstrom, DARPA
• Prof. Dr. Christof Koch, CSO, Allen Institute for Brain Science

Evaluation Process

The evaluation process is confidential and completely independent of the prize sponsor. The independent jury scores the submitted projects on the basis of a list of criteria, including the following:

• Novelty of the method or the achieved results
• Potential impact on the field of neurmorphic engineering research
• Potential commercial and/or real-world end-user impact
• Technical prowess: is it a real-time system working in the real world under real-world constraints?
• Demonstration of potential for quantum leaps in power efficiency, dynamic range and/or speed due to use of neuromorphic design principles
• Clarity of explanation and presentation of results
