DesktopFly
A 3D fruit fly living on your macOS desktop
DesktopFly is a macOS experiment that places a 3D fruit fly on the desktop and drives its behavior with a live neural simulation based on the FlyWire connectome. A 668-neuron circuit with roughly 19,000 biological synaptic connections runs as a spiking simulation that influences walking, steering, grooming, and escape behavior. Cursor movement, windows, clicks, temperature, and time of day become environmental inputs.
