A simulated fruit-fly brain with 138,639 neurons mapped from the FlyWire connectome plays the grand strategy game Open Doctrines in real-time in a browser. The brain receives sensory inputs based on game events and produces commands that control a country's actions, though it performs poorly at strategy since it evolved for survival, not governance.
Google mapped an adult male fruit fly's brain into a 3D model containing 166,000 neurons, prompting engineers to train it to play Doom, Beat Saber, Mario 64, and Minecraft. Similar brain mapping projects like Flywire have enabled comparable applications, raising questions about future possibilities for replicating human neural structures.
