Fly Brain HubHackaday: Fly Brain Connectome Used To Trade Stocks And Play Games
Maya Posch (Hackaday)
Maya Posch's 14 September round-up, the hardware-hacker press catching up with a wave the games and science outlets covered first. It walks through what has been bolted onto the Janelia male CNS wiring diagram in under two weeks: Nftechie's Stonkfly, which reads the fly's reward circuitry as stock trades, and attempts to have the connectome play DOOM and Beat Saber, where each game frame stimulates sensory neurons and dopamine reward circuits are wired in for reinforcement learning. Posch passes on Nftechie's own admission that nobody has checked how good a fruit fly is at trading.
