Some articles, papers and books resulting from workshop collaborations are highlighted below, see also Videos from past workshops to see a few examples of real time demonstrations. See the quantitative Google scholar analysis of papers that acknowlege the workshop below.
Former workshop participants have founded startups (e.g. Intan Technologies, (intel) Nervana, Pixium Vision, inilabs, inivation, Chronocam, insightness, TeraDeep), have taken leadership positions at large industry (Amazon, Google, Intel, Comcast, Qualcomm), or are now professors at leading Universities (e.g. Yale, Purdue, Stanford, UCSD).
Past workshop participants have 2 out of the top cited papers up to 2015 at the IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits and the 2nd most cited paper in 2026. The cross-disciplinary nature of the workshop is shown by participants technical program organization at major scientific/technology conferences spanning electronics, computer vision, AI, robotics, and neuroscience, including ISSCC, ISCAS, BioCAS, CVPR, NeurIPS, SFN, and ARVO.
A 2026 run of impact of workshop with the telluride-impact script (see Scholar Impact) resulted in the "Telluride Neuromorphic Workshop" profile below. These results show the big impact of the workshop; at a fraction of a faculty cost, NSF funding has resulted in the impact of a strong professorship.
