fruit-fly

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.

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.

Native .NET inference engine for fly-connectome spiking models (MaleCNS, FlyWire) — and an honest demo of what such simulations are

A fruit-fly connectome (Janelia male CNS v1.0, 30,000 neurons) trained to fly an FPV drone in Liftoff, with live neural activity video

The world's first web framework routed by a fruit fly brain: a Spring Boot-style Java framework where a spiking simulation of the real Drosophila connectome (FlyWire, 139k neurons) decides which controller handles each HTTP request.

A fruit fly in a tiny tank helmet plays Claude of Tanks. Live spiking neurons, a miniature 3D cockpit, and autonomous battles with 171 vehicles and 30 maps. Built with Three.js and TypeScript. Play in your browser.

基于 MaleCNS 果蝇连接组、Brian2 与 FlyGym/MuJoCo 的神经元级脑-身体闭环仿真实验台：支持食物/天敌刺激、166 神经元 raster、教学因果链与虚拟果蝇主视角。

FlyHead: a whole-brain FlyWire fruit-fly connectome (138k-neuron LIF, PyTorch/CUDA) driving a real wheel-legged robot over ROS 2. LiDAR looming -> LC4/LPLC2/LC9 -> descending neurons (DNp01, DNa02, MDN) -> escape & obstacle avoidance. SLAM navigation, simulation, offline EEG->DNa02 steering.

166,700 fruit fly neurons trying to center a div using the MaleCNS connectome.

Kick-the-buddy game where the buddy is a live 166,700-neuron fruit fly connectome

A real 166,700-neuron fruit-fly connectome piloting a virtual drone to find food. Work in progress, honestly documented.

🪰⚖️ A real fruit fly connectome sits as juror and rules on X posts. 165,122 neurons, 25,563,197 synaptic connections, zero reading comprehension. Also: proof that the descending-neuron readout every viral fly-brain demo uses carries no information at all.

A real fruit fly nervous system (MaleCNS connectome, 165k neurons) plays rock-paper-scissors chess with zero training, deciding by its own approach vs escape circuits.

Complete Drosophila brain connectome (3.5M synapses) with 8 reproducible projects: network analysis, simulation, 3D viz, and trained ML models (cell-type classification 88%, link prediction 0.97 AUC)

A real fruit fly nervous system (MaleCNS connectome, 165k neurons) simulated live, playing Snake, with the controls the viral demos skipped.

A real fruit fly is playing Minecraft without external intervention.

Watch a fly play 3DPinball in your browser: an untrained escape circuit from the real Drosophila connectome (MaleCNS v1.0) drives the flippers of 3D Pinball Space Cadet, in a Windows XP desktop in your browser.

A simulated fly circuit learns a small browser task: search for a fruit, choose it, and select its ripeness.
