Fruit Fly Brain Simulation Runs on Live Computer, Funded by $FLYAI

The open-source project fly.ai has created a simulation of a real fruit fly's brain, complete with every neuron mapped synapse by synapse under an electron microscope. The brain is running live on a computer and the project is funded by the cryptocurrency $FLYAI. According to the source, making a real brain do more is the goal, with no scripted game rules and results published regardless of whether they go up or down.

The coin exists solely to fund research and compute costs associated with running the simulation. This allows for continuous improvement of the fly itself without any external influences on the outcome. The project aims to advance our understanding of neuroscience and potentially lead to breakthroughs in related fields.
