Connectome-derived architectures vs conventional AI

MCNS — A biologically inspired digital brain project based on the neural architecture of the fruit fly, exploring perception, learning, memory, neural dynamics, and adaptive behavior.

Fruit Fly Lingo is the interaction layer of the Embodied Drosophila Literacy Simulation (EDLS). It puts a simulated fruit fly in front of a smartphone that teaches word parts, and asks a simple question with a hard answer: can a nervous system that evolved for finding food and avoiding swatters be repurposed to learn to read.
