Their "Request for Information for Neurally Inspired Computing Principles," posted online at FedBizOpps, asks computer scientists and neuroscientists to answer at least one of four questions about learning, memory, timing, and coordination. The goal: anticipate next-generation computers.
IARPA is the far-future research projects arm of America's intelligence agencies, much like DARPA is for the Pentagon.
