 +======= Introductory Course in Neuroscience: Neuromorphic Engineering =======
 +
 +This material is for the lecture **Neuromorphic Technology** presented by Tobi Delbruck (formerly Shih-Chii Liu) in the [[http://www.neuroscience.uzh.ch/en/education/courses/introcoursefs.html|Introductory Neuroscience Course ]] coordinated by [[http://www.neuroscience.ethz.ch/|The Neuroscience Center, Zurich (ZNZ)]].
 +
 +The exam question will be based on the following material:
 +
 +  * {{intro2neuroscienceneuromorphicengineering2016-handout.pdf|2016 Lecture slides on Neuromorphic Technology}}
 +
 +Prepare to answer questions about the material on the slides in the lecture.
 +If you clearly understood the basic material there you will be fine.
 +
 +
 +Don't worry if you come to the exam and cannot answer all the questions because practically no one will be able to answer all of them. But you will be in very good shape if you can answer questions about the following topics:
 +  * The rationale for neuromorphic engineering and its historical roots
 +  * The list of `organizing principles' of neural computation as presented in the lecture and examples of them in the nervous system
 +  * The architecture of synchronous logic
 +  * Be quite familiar with the architecture and function of the most basic 3-layer retina model
 +
 +**Background reading for the material:**
