Simulation & Emulation

Flybrain

Dhruv Agrawat (@dhruvagrawat)

A NumPy and Numba reimplementation of the Shiu et al. whole-brain model, 138,639 neurons and 15.1 million connections, one simulated second in about 9 s on a single core, with a WebGL lab that replays experiments spike by spike and a command line taking sentences like stimulate sugar at 200 hz. Eight browser apps hand control to the fly's own neurons, each with an autopilot and a scrambled-wiring control; one is built around telling the two apart. Stimulating sugar taste activates about 430 neurons and drives the feeding motor neuron MN9 at about 115 Hz.
