> A 3D fruit fly lives on the macOS desktop, driven by a spiking simulation of the real FlyWire connectome and the MaleCNS motor network.

## Useful for

- Run the fly on your desktop and watch its behavior in real time
- Open the brain window and click regions to stimulate neurons and trigger escape or grooming
- Run the Escape Test with a looming stimulus and watch the Giant Fiber fire

## Why it’s here

- 0 stars so far today, about 3 expected by the end of the day.
- The repository is 40 days old and already has 1,052 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 89

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
