Real Fly Brain – chase and squash bugs with your cursor

ConnectomeFly, a new web-based simulation, lets users chase and squash virtual flies driven by a real fruit fly's scanned connectome, using a live spiking neural network that processes the user's cursor movements in the browser. The project, built on the FlyWire connectome, offers an interactive glimpse into a biological brain's behavior, distinct from AI models like LLMs.

Every fly is driven by a real …-neuron FlyWire connectome — a live spiking sim. Move your cursor at one to make it flee. 🪰 3 CPU

The camera will only be shared with flies locally on your own browser, it will not be shared with anyone else.

You're not looking at an AI brain anymore. It's not an LLM. These are a real fly's actual, scanned brain, just as in nature.
