EXPERIMENT 01 / YOUR VOICE. ITS NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Voice theft.

Give the complete fly circuit a voice. Its output chooses and bends your samples.

What’s firing?

32 READOUT BINS

All downstream neurons contribute. Directly stimulated cells are excluded from the learned readout.

INPUT20 mapped sugar-sensing cells

ENGINEEvery neuron in the authors’ v783 files

OUTPUTSpike counts → musical actions

Silence stimulated cells’ outputs

Disconnect outgoing signals to test causality.

TEST, DON’T ASSUME

Train a small output layer to recognize four sensory pulse patterns. Compare it with the same full network using shuffled connection destinations.

25%chance accuracy

Only the output layer learns. Biological connection weights remain fixed. This test measures pulse classification, not musical taste or IT expertise.
