note: Numbered dot (mainstream point) at 2014.3, between the 2014 and 2015 lines, nearer 2014 (read as 2014). Bar from 2013.8 to 2020.3: scientifically viable ~2014, financially viable ~2020. The bar reaches the inner edge of the grid (~2014), so scientific viability may be at or before the chart start. Sub-area: Neural interfaces.
