EXEPERT v0.2: docs are live
· One min read
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
Worldcompiled 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.
