The Prize is named for the late Misha Mahowald, one of the most influential pioneers of the field of neuromorphic engineering. The award is considered annually. The competition is open to any individual or research group worldwide. The Prize is for a project, not persons. Entries will likely to fall into one or more of the following categories: * a neuromorphic circuit, device or system * a neuromorphic algorithm or operating principle * a tool which promotes the use of neuromorphic engineering technology The entry may be a summary of a published or unpublished paper, or a description of a project, product or service. Every project will be considered on its own merits, regardless of the development budget or the group who worked on it. We strongly encourage everyone who has developed a novel contribution to the field to enter, no matter how large or small the project. Projects can be submitted even if they are still in progress. They will be judged according to the results achieved at the time of submission. The submission of revised versions of projects that have been unsuccessful in previous years, is strongly encouraged. 2020 Prize * The value of the 2020 Prize will be $10,000. * The prize is decided by a Jury of internationally recognized experts under the chair of Prof. Terry Sejnowski * The submission document is limited to 4 A4 pages.
