FLYBRAIN · NES

Wires a frozen MaleCNS v1.0 nervous system - 166,700 neurons, 25.6M connections - to an NES emulator: twenty times a second the game picture enters the fly's own motion and object detectors, and its descending neurons press the controller, with a small learner paid in score and punished by lost lives. It ships the control experiment, not just the demo. Real against scrambled wiring on Super Mario Bros., five runs each, covered 3,214 against 563 pixels of new ground; holding right with no brain covered none.
