What the publisher says
From the ZenBrain Memory repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
ZenBrain The neuroscience-inspired memory system for AI agents. 7 memory layers. Real neuroscience — FSRS, Hebbian, sleep consolidation, emotional tagging, plus 10 advanced research modules (vmPFC-FSRS, two-factor Hebbian, simulation-selection sleep, Fiedler-value KG health, IB budget, Hopfield STM, ...).Pure TypeScript. Zero dependencies. 528 tests. Extracted from a production AI platform.
Status: pre-1.0, semver — the public API can still change before 1.0. 528 tests green on Node 22, 24 and 26 in CI · every release published to npm with build provenance · every change recorded in the CHANGELOG · issues and pull requests get a first response typically within 72 hours.

Your AI forgets everything after every conversation. ZenBrain fixes that — with the same mechanisms your brain uses: spaced repetition, emotional consolidation, Hebbian strengthening, and exponential forgetting curves. Not a vector database with a wrapper. Actual neuroscience.
Architecture vs. this package. ZenBrain's architecture is 15 neuroscience-inspired mechanisms — 9 foundational algorithms + 6 Predictive Memory Architecture (PMA) components (paper). The 6 PMA components are proprietary and run in the production system. This open-source package ships the algorithm library: 10 core algorithms + 10 advanced research modules (20 modules), zero-dependency.
