The US-sponsored DARPA SyNAPSE project and the EU-sponsored FACETS (now Brainscales) project are examples of major initiatives in neuromorphic computing. As for many other fields, the time has arrived for emerging (and soon to be dominating?) economies to start heavily funding similar projects. The "China brain project" is one of such early example.

The FACETS project
| March 27, 2010
The DARPA SyNAPSE project is not the only attempt in the world of neuromorphic engineering to create larg-scale, low-power neuromorphic hardware. The European FACETS (Fast Analog Computing with Emergent Transient States) project, currently in his month 55 of activity, is "to create a theoretical and experimental foundation for the realisation of novel computing paradigms which exploit the concepts experimentally observed in biological nervous systems".
