About the project
A fly-connectome simulation where real videos stimulate a reconstructed 166,700-neuron network, and its measured activity drives the fly's movements and a live neural overlay in the browser.
Useful for
- Run the simulation locally to watch PAM11 dopamine-neuron activity under a video feed
- Compare stimulated and control runs using the --no-video-reward flag
- Save brain checkpoints with the S key and resume state on the next launch

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
