Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sweet trigger caused the simulation to send signals that would extend the proboscis, and the bitter one didn’t. Further study showed that the computer model was more than 90 percent accurate in predicting how a real fly’s brain would respond.

Sorry offtopic, but image looks like a person from below rendered with the wrong textures. Maybe it's just me, like with a Rorschach test.

A 90% accurate predictor for fruit fly behavior Is crazy

Wait, are we just going to casually skip past the part where a fruit fly SINGS???

How do we know this? Are there fruit fly song recordings?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We're working on getting a microphone that small, so they aren't intimidated and will allow themselves to be recorded.

I want the spotify remix.

Because fruit flies are literally one of the most studied animals in the world, and yes

Great now make an aerosol that will liquify the brain but safe for humans.

I hate fruit flies

When is this going to be runable python code like the other brain is?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

There's a couple python libraries listed on their website, flywire.ai/apps. No idea if they allow for proper simulation though.
