FlyHub, the Internet for Drosophila
A simulated research interface that recommends visual stimuli by modeling how fruit flies pursue, orient toward, and respond to moving targets.
Field notes
FlyHub models a fruit-fly viewing session as a feedback loop: visual targets produce measurable pursuit and orientation responses, which determine the next stimulus variation. The displayed example identifies a male D. melanogaster and reports a 3.2 mm target moving at 7.4 mm/s, with 96% contrast. Its ranked feed includes named stimuli such as Slow Zigzag #771 and Twin Target #082. The interface states that the feed, engagement scores, and fly counts are simulated rather than recorded from a verified live session.
