@sun @jeremiah @Omega_Variant @cjd @meowski I know we have the map of the entire fruit fly brain but do we actually know what every component of it does? Do we know every biological function it controls and how it interprets data from the eyes and ears?

@nimrod @Omega_Variant @cjd @jeremiah @meowski there are entire classes of drugs where we know they work but we don't know why they work. we can feed the fly brain into a computer and simualte an environment around iit and it navigates it and learns

@sun @nimrod @Omega_Variant @cjd @meowski but how would you prove the artificial learning process is equivalent to the fly's? By behavior alone? How would you test the simulated environment against real flies?
