This work is dedicated to the review and perspective of the new direction that we call “Neuropunk revolution” resembling the cultural phenomenon of cyberpunk. This new phenomenon has its foundations in advances in neuromorphic technologies including memristive and bioplausible simulations, BCI, and neurointerfaces as well as unconventional 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 technologies to integrate the cybernetic objects with biological tissues in close loop system as well as robotic systems inspired by the biological processes again integrated with biological objects. We see bioplausible simulations implemented by digital computers or spiking networks memristive hardware as promising bridge or middleware between digital and [neuro]biological domains.
