Google’s mapped fruit-fly brain tackles Doom and Beat Saber in a neuroscience milestone

Google has released a fully mapped male fruit-fly brain that researchers have used to train an AI-driven model to play Doom and Beat Saber, with demos showing the fly’s arousal state influencing its actions. The effort, led by Google researchers and demonstrated by hobbyists, is pitched as a foundational resource for neuroscience, even though early results are rough and the project is more about proving connectome-based control than delivering polished gameplay.
