Synapse — Living Habitat
A live 3D habitat simulates fruit-fly and worm behavior through neural models, environmental sensing, telemetry, and operator interventions.
Field notes
The habitat runs as a shared-server simulation with environmental inputs including daylight, water, soil, shelter, temperature, and humidity. Its observatory separates neural channels from body or adapter channels, while the event record retains the last 2,000 events and the interface can export 120 seconds of sensory history. The stated fly model covers 139,255 neurons and 2,698,236 connections from FlyWire FAFB v783; the worm model lists 300 neural nodes and 96 muscle nodes.
