Flyyard Gives a Fly a Browser

Field notes

Flyyard links a published 127,400-neuron fly-brain model to browser activity through an adapter that converts screen brightness into neural inputs and neural activity into browser actions. The homepage presents Midge's recorded Wikipedia journey, a shared Playground where visitors can name a fly and drop sugar, and a Brain Lab for stimulation and reproducible experiments. It also states that the simulation runs on one local computer and does not understand the articles it visits.
