A curated list of fruit fly connectome projects: MaleCNS, FlyWire, brain simulations, embodied models, games, and research tools.
A fruit fly connectome as a drone pilot. Camera -> fly eyes -> spiking brain -> descending neurons -> drone. Live 3D demo in your browser.
NeuroCraft Fly by Evan Sinclair Smith: an interactive fruit-fly connectome model in Minecraft. Public project home and release roadmap.
Printed-character recognition through a fixed fruit-fly connectome, with a small trained decoder, compound-eye replays and a full research report.
A population of fruit-fly nervous systems adrift on the Arc market - autonomous agents settling in USDC over x402.
Five fruit flies pinned to electric pins. A sixth fly, wired into a reward-punishment loop, decides which two get current, gets dopamine when one maxes out, and burns when the others go cold. Six copies of the MaleCNS connectome, 166,700 neurons each, bit-identical until something is done to them.
Interactive whole-brain Drosophila simulation on the real FlyWire FAFB v783 connectome (139,255 neurons) running the Shiu et al. 2024 leaky integrate-and-fire model
