About NEUROPROSTHESIS.ORG

This domain has been on the Internet since the days when pages were measured in kilobytes and a good website was one that loaded before you finished your coffee. The original Neuroprosthesis Research Organization site documented the frontier where machines met minds — neural interfaces, robotics, text-to-speech demos, and the bold predictions of the futurists of that era.

Then, like so much of the old Web, it went dark.

The Restoration

We brought neuroprosthesis.org back online because the questions it asked never went away — they only got bigger. The neural networks that were laboratory curiosities in 2001 now write text, generate images and drive cars. The "human–computer interaction" research of the old site has become an industry. It felt wrong for the domain to sit silent while the future it predicted actually arrived.

So the site was restored, in the spirit of the original: dark background, plain text, fast pages, no nonsense. The research continues.

What We Cover

• Artificial intelligence — models, tools, research papers, and what they actually mean in practice.
• Science & new technologies — hardware, biotech, energy, and the lab results worth knowing about.
• The Web & the Internet — protocols, platforms, and the ongoing fight for an open network.
• Startups — who is building what, which ideas are real, and which are déjà vu from 1999.

How We Work

Every note published here is researched and written to be useful on its own: sources checked, jargon translated, hype discounted. We publish when a note is ready, not on a content calendar. If you remember the old Internet fondly — or you're just tired of the new one — you are in the right place.
