FLY MAZE, a Digital Fruit Fly With Something to Learn

Field notes

The study pairs a learning subject with a no-memory control, keeping the maze, start point, food, action budget, and exploration schedule aligned while changing whether action values persist. Its interface exposes four Q-values per cell, maze trails, exploration rate, and a browser-based notebook rather than presenting only a final score. The page also describes rerunnable exports keyed to the maze seed. No measurements are visible yet, so the comparison remains an experiment readers must start themselves.
