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.
