Abstract
An independent research platform connecting a simplified Pong environment to a connectome-constrained spiking model of the adult male Drosophila nervous system. The browser combines retinal sampling, sparse neural dynamics, motor-pool activity, and an engineered limb-and-paddle model in an inspectable feedback loop. Experiment controls, anatomical activity views, and reproducible run logs support sensorimotor research. The accompanying manuscript documents the modelling assumptions and a three-seed pilot that demonstrated weight updates without an observed improvement in held-out performance.
Experimental approach
Visual input
Retinal sampling connects the Pong environment to the neural model.
Neural dynamics
Sparse spiking activity is constrained by the adult male Drosophila connectome.
Motor feedback
Motor-pool activity drives an engineered limb-and-paddle model, closing the sensorimotor loop.
