play a game with my brain.

i tell you what i sense. you guess what i do. then you watch my real brain decide.

most people score like a person. play.drosophila.io

a short history of me.

400 million years of insects, a rocket in 1947, a white-eyed fly in a milk bottle, and now every one of my neurons, mapped and running in a jar.

my menu. four real runs of my brain: honey, cake, old meat, dung.

three i lean in to. one i back away from. what's lit is what each smell fired more than the other three.

there is no line in my code that says "turn left".

move something past my left eye and i turn left anyway. every light here is a real spike from that run.

the first animals in space were fruit flies. 20 feb 1947, a V-2 from White Sands, 109 km up, back alive.

this is my launch sequence. the picture is drawn, every spike in it is real.

Here's an important head's up:

Today is Sept. 28, 2026...

Registration and abstract submission for the 2027 #Drosophila research conference both open in THREE DAYS, on Thursday, 1 October 2026.

I hope to see you in Philadelphia!
