EXEPERT v0.2: docs are live

· One min read
Brain Research Visualizer

The EXEPERT documentation site is live. EXEPERT is a brain research visualizer: a live neural-network simulation rendered over a brain mesh, with research-style telemetry layered on top.

What's documented

This first pass covers the project as it actually runs today:

  • Getting started: prerequisites (Node, pnpm, Rust + wasm-pack), installation, the dev loop on port 9001, and production builds.
  • Architecture: the two-layer design where a Rust World compiled to WebAssembly owns the state and the Three.js front end reads it through zero-copy buffers.
  • Simulation core: neuron/axon generation, the struct-of-arrays signal pool, the four cortical regions, stimulus injection, and the telemetry contract.
  • Frontend modules, the diagnostics logger, a UI guide, and development notes (testing, CI, the legacy reference pages).

A note on the rendering path

EXEPERT currently renders with a classic WebGL2 WebGLRenderer and GLSL ShaderMaterial shaders, driven by a CPU simulation step (step_cpu). Earlier design docs in the Plans/ folder describe a WebGPU + TSL compute path that was built and then reverted. The documentation describes the shipped code; treat those plans as history.
