Fly With Me

Sound is an input the fly actually has, and this project uses it: audio from two decks is split into bands and fed to 12 subtypes of Johnston's organ, the fly's hearing organ, on the left and right. The full FlyWire v783 brain then runs as a spiking network and its 1,409 descending and motor neurons work a DJ mixer, with the crossfader following the left-right descending imbalance, the giant fibre DNp01 triggering a beat roll and bitter-driven neurons including the moonwalker MDN triggering a backspin. A bundled script checks the simulator against the published Shiu et al. model.
