[CALL FOR PAPERS] Special Session on perception at ICANN 2026
by Vittorio Fra 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Dear Neuromorphs, we are pleased to share with you the call for papers of our Special Session "Perception Frontiers with Neuromorphic Methods" at the 35th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN), as the submission procedure is open! ICANN 2026 will take place in Padua (Italy) from 14 to 17 September 2026, and our Special Session targets perception through neuro-inspired approaches, at both the sensory and the processing level, for the formation of actionable knowledge through event-based sensing or computation. We welcome both theoretical and applied contributions, and you can find additional information, the list of topics and the deadlines on our website: https://vitf.github.io/perceptionfrontiers.github.io/ We look forward to receiving your papers! Vittorio Fra on behalf of the co-organizers Yulia Sandamirskaya, Jens Egholm Pedersen, Chiara Bartolozzi, Giulia D'Angelo, Claudio Gallicchio CALL FOR PAPERS of "Perception Frontiers with Neuromorphic Methods": Perception is the interface between sensing and knowledge, part of the process leading from stimulus acquisition to information handling. For animals, the nervous system processes signals from a distributed system of highly specialized peripheral sensors, collected into a single centralized brain. Consequently, as long as neuromorphic engineering, encompassing neuromorphic computing and Neuro-AI, aims to emulate, or draw inspiration from, the nervous system, a fundamental aspect to be considered is the interplay between peripheral sensing and central processing. Essential for perception, this is also a key aspect of knowledge formation for intelligent systems. Depending on the timescale required for action, perception triggers quick reaction or reasoning. Additionally, the different sensing modalities, i.e. tactile, visual or others, can define the actual interaction with the surrounding environment, leading to different ways of understanding or navigating the scene. This Special Session targets perception through neuro-inspired approaches at both the sensory and the processing level, focusing on the formation of actionable knowledge through event-based sensing or computation. Theoretical and application-oriented contributions are encouraged, in order to foster a comprehensive discussion on the results, strategies and prospects of bio-inspired perception.
