# mattyhempstead/fly-wirehead

> 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.

- Magnitude: 0.0 out of 10 — Quiet
- Stars: 129 total · +0 stars on 2026-09-27 (UTC), ≈ 0 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## 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

## Why it’s here

- The repository is 17 days old and already has 129 stars.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

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

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.
