A GitHub project that connects a fly's connectome neural simulation to a live Doom game arena for real-time control and experimental dopamine-gated memory rules, currently in a live training phase without demonstrated learned survival.
Mapping the zebrafish connectome after the fruit fly is advancing with potential for compact AI models and offline autonomy, expanding AI beyond LLMs.
An exploration of why mapping the brain's connectome is valuable, arguing that unlike AI systems where design is in code outside weights, brains must encode all design physically, making architecture the key to understanding.
Google releases MoGen model, using synthetic neurons to reduce connectome reconstruction error rate by 4.4%, saving 157 person-years of annotation time; meanwhile, AI can already decode thoughts from fMRI, and the proliferation of portable brain sensors raises brain privacy concerns.
