It is pretty exciting. :)

I only recently learned about the Brain Initiative (USA) and the Human Brain Project (European Union). As I understand it, both were started in 2013. First the Brain Initiative, and then the European Union responded with the Human Brain Project. Anyone knows what kind of developments have accrued from them so far?

Other way around. Europe started HBP started first, then US announced the BI. The HBP is centered around Markham's big sim project. The BI is more like a bag of somewhat related grants, focusing more on connectome mapping. From what I remember, both projects are long term, and most of the results are expected to be 5 years out or so, but they are publishing along the way.
