Researchers Mapped a Fruit Fly Brain. Software Engineers Got It to Play Doom

Researchers from HHMI Janelia, Google Research, and other collaborators used AI to produce a complete brain map of a male fruit fly, a years-long project announced in a Google Research blog post. Software engineers then used the fruit fly brain map to play the video game Doom, demonstrating the connectome in a non-scientific application.

Researchers recently used AI to create a brain map of a male fruit fly, and what better way to take advantage of that breakthrough than to use it to play Doom? The team from HHMI Janelia, Google Research, and other collaborators say https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/research/male-fruit-fly-brain-map/ their "years-long project," which includes …
