Neuropunk Revolution. Hacking Cognitive Systems towards Cyborgs 3.0

This work is dedicated to the review and perspective of the new direc-tion that we call Neuropunk revolution resembling the cultural phe-nomenon of cyberpunk. This new phenomenon has its foundations in advances in neuromorphic technologies including memristive and bio-plausible simulations, BCI, and neurointerfaces as well as unconven-tional approaches to AI and computing in general. We present the review of the current state-of-the-art and our vision of near future development of scientific approaches and future technologies. We call the Neuropunk revolution the set of trends that in our view provide the necessary background for the new generation of approaches tech-nologies to integrate the cybernetic objects with biological tissues in close loop system as well as robotic systems inspired by the biolog-ical processes again integrated with biological objects. We see bio-plausible simulations implemented by digital computers or spiking net-works memristive hardware as promising bridge or middleware between digital and [neuro]biological domains.

Automated summary

This article reviews and provides insights into the new direction of the Neuropunk revolution, which is founded on the advancements in neuromorphic technologies and unconventional approaches to AI and computing. The revolution integrates mechanical and biological tissues, as well as robotic systems inspired by biological processes.
