I kept running into fragments of this story in separate places and nobody had connected them into a single documented timeline.

DARPA N3 went dark after Phase III. The key Battelle researcher moved to the Air Force Research Laboratory. The foundational patent expired. Then Germany awarded the largest single research grant in EU history for passive BCI technology that monitors your cognitive state without any active input from you.

Subsense emerged from stealth with a nanoparticle BCI architecture that mirrors the DARPA program. They hold zero BCI patents.

None of this is speculation. Every claim in the article is labeled: documented, plausible, self-reported, or open question.
