An interactive experiment lets visitors teach a connectome-based fly model to find food, then compares it with an untrained twin.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The experiment turns a modeled neural response into movement through a 30-second, gated food-finding course. Visitors can place three scent cues per round and select banana or apple as the teaching signal, while an untrained baseline runs under the same layout, speed, random draws, and scent field. The current report has recorded no runs or exams. The site also links its code, methods, open data, licenses, and source laboratory experiment.
