There are many proponents of neuromorphic engineering. Qualcomm, a San Diego wireless telecommunications company, introduced the Zeroth Project in 2014, the first large-scale platform for neuromorphic computing. IBM Research and HRL Laboratories have also been working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop their own neuromorphic chips, and Human Brain Project run by the European Commission is spending close to one hundred million euros on neuromorphic projects.
