Every year the Neuromorphic Engineering Student Society (NESS) hosts a weekend retreat to provide students (and affiliated faculty) a chance for research discussion, relaxation, and social interaction. This year the retreat is focusing on where neuromorphic engineering research is going in the next 5-10 years. In order to facilitate student participation in the discussion, the 3 sessions: Robotics, Brain Machine Interface, and Biological Control Models, will feature talks by outside speakers and Caltech faculty followed by a panel question-and-answer segment.

For this year's venue, we are returning to the Aliso Creek Inn in Laguna Beach. This is a little more than an hour south of Caltech.

Travel expenses will be covered at the current NESS rate per mile for those students driving a carpool with at least one passenger other than a guest. Please indicate on the registration form if you can provide a carpool, or if you need a ride.
