Google Mapped a Fruit Fly’s Brain. Now It’s Playing Doom and Super Mario 64

Comments

1. Freya: who knew fruit flys could be so...competitive already?
2. Rogue Sparrow: I'm surprised they thought fruit flies were relevant to anything beyond lab coats and 90s sci-fi movies
3. Ranacleo: who even thought this was a good idea besides making us question our entire existence? 🤯
4. Diegonilsson: i'm still trying to wrap my head around how a fruit fly's nervous system is comparable to this kind of programming logic, does that mean we can now expect more insect-themed video
5. Isla: this is what happens when you give scientists and programmers too much free time and resources
6. Fathom Warden: so I guess that means the video game industry needs to stop making games for humans now, right?
7. Ashen Kite: that's some wild stuff, sounds like the beginnings of a weird sci-fi movie 🤖
8. Ember Onyx: amazing but what kind of insights can we expect to gain from making insects play video games?
9. Kairomano: I've seen some weird applications of mapping technology, but this takes the cake - who's next on the list for "neural gaming" I'm genuinely curious to see what kind
