← Experiments

The Retina

The fly has 13,580 tiny motion detectors that work with no training. Take that part of the brain out, feed it video, and use it as a motion sensor.

What it claims

The fly's motion circuit computes usable optical flow on real video.

Learning

No training. The wiring has to do it on its own.

Parts of the brain used

  • Eyes
  • Lamina
  • Motion cells

Not built yet

The brain and the simulator behind The Room already work. This experiment needs its own world and its own test. The code is open if you want to build it.
