The workshop will bring together a diverse group of experts in complementary areas of neuroscience, network science, and unconventional computing. The speakers will present on recent research and participate in discussions about approaches to understanding the structure of brain networks, brain-inspired mechanisms for computation, and future directions likely to lead to transformative research.

The topics include structural and functional brain networks, brain computation and plasticity, approaches for network inference and analysis, the role of network heterogeneity in information processing and computation, optimization approaches for machine learning, scalable control approaches for network systems, and emerging specialized computing platforms.
