Eon Systems has reportedly achieved a breakthrough in whole-brain emulation by simulating the 125,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections of an adult fruit fly's brain. This simulated brain was then integrated into a virtual environment, allowing the fly to interact with a digital world. The experiment utilized a pre-existing wiring diagram of the fruit fly brain and a physics-based simulation framework.
Researchers claim this is the first demonstration of a whole-brain emulation exhibiting multiple behaviors, paving the way for more complex simulations, potentially including mouse and eventually human brains.

Northwestern University engineers have developed VoxeLite, a bandage-like haptic device that achieves 'human resolution' in recreating touch sensations. It uses an array of tiny, individually controlled nodes to simulate texture and tactile sensations with high clarity, detail, and speed.
