The role of neuromorphic principles in the future of biomedicine and healthcare
For researchers and practitioners in neuromorphic and biomedical fields, this provides a consensus view on future directions, but it is a workshop report rather than a novel contribution.
The paper reports on a workshop discussing the potential of neuromorphic engineering to transform biomedical engineering and neurotechnologies, summarizing community perspectives on challenges and strategies for advancing the field.
Neuromorphic engineering has matured over the past four decades and is currently experiencing explosive growth with the potential to transform biomedical engineering and neurotechnologies. Participants at the Neuromorphic Principles in Biomedicine and Healthcare (NPBH) Workshop (October 2024) -- representing a broad cross-section of the community, including early-career and established scholars, engineers, scientists, clinicians, industry, and funders -- convened to discuss the state of the field, current and future challenges, and strategies for advancing neuromorphic research and development for biomedical applications. Publicly approved recordings with transcripts (https://2024.neuro-med.org/program/session-video-and-transcripts) and slides (https://2024.neuro-med.org/program/session-slides) can be found at the workshop website.
