I am posting this news article because of the coming possibilities of this same thing being done to largemouth bass and what all it could mean for us bass fishermen in the way of future predicting of bass behavior that we can use to our fishing advantage.

According to this we could soon have computer modeling of a bass brain, and natural behaviors programmed into computers that we can all access at the click of a button- or control as well.

Also try imagining the use of drone fish controlled by this type of thing that could one day replace forward facing sonar that could become obsolete.

Show up at boat ramp. Put boat in water. Toss overboard a couple drone bass, hit the "search" button and put on your eyeglasses with built in sensor imaging and let technology show us the new way.

Who knows maybe one day we won't just be fishing WITH AI drone bass programmed with a bass brain uploaded behind the programming. We may one day be fishing for them!

Scientists complete first-ever ‘virtual brain upload’

A complete digital copy of a fruit fly’s brain has been uploaded to a simulated environment and has been seen exhibiting natural behavior

Scientists complete first-ever ‘virtual brain upload’

A Silicon Valley startup has announced what it describes as the first “multi-behavior brain upload” after creating a complete digital replica of a fruit fly’s brain that controls a virtual body in a simulated environment.

The achievement, unveiled last week by Eon Systems, represents a significant leap beyond conventional AI.

Unlike AI systems that learn behaviors through training, the virtual fly’s actions, which include walking, grooming, and foraging entirely on its own, emerge from a neuron-by-neuron copy of a real biological brain.

“This is not an animation. It is not a reinforcement learning policy mimicking biology,” Eon co-founder Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross said in a social media post announcing the breakthrough. “It is a copy of a biological brain, wired neuron-to-neuron from electron microscopy data, running in simulation, making a body move.”

The feat builds on landmark research from 2024, when an international collaboration mapped the entire connectome of an adult fruit fly – every one of its roughly 140,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections. Eon senior scientist Philip Shiu co-authored a Nature paper showing that a computational model built from this wiring diagram could predict actual fly motor behavior with 95% accuracy.

However, the model was effectively a brain with no body to command. Eon has now closed the loop, integrating the digital brain with a physics-simulated fly body using Google DeepMind’s MuJoCo engine.

Sensory inputs from the virtual environment flow into the emulated brain, neural activity propagates through its complete connectome, and motor commands drive the simulated body’s movements. The digital creature’s behaviors arise from its own circuit dynamics, instead of programmed instructions.

Eon CEO Michael Andregg said the uploaded fly achieves 91% behavioral accuracy using only the connectome’s wiring, simple neuron models, and “no hand-tuning, no additional learning algorithms.”

The Eon team is now gathering data to attempt a complete mouse brain emulation – roughly 70 million neurons, 560 times the fly’s scale. Beyond that, the team ultimately aims to attempt an entire human brain upload.

“The ghost is no longer in the machine. The machine is becoming the ghost,” Wissner-Gross said.

I presume you intended that as tongue-in-cheek or satire.

RT.com (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian state-controlled media outlet that is pro-Kremlin. THAT is your source? And why are you on such a site anyway?

I had no idea it was a Russian site. Heck I did not even look at that. It was an article that came up in a google search RSS feed I had programmed years ago for scientific articles of this nature.

So just to double check, I found that the basis of the article is true and not satire.

So no sir, I did not mean it as satire. I was being serious! lol

When I click search on google I have no idea where in the world they shall send me. This one just happened to be Russia. It did not enter my mind until you mentioned it.

From what all I have read on this subject scientists are presently mapping the brains of numerous creatures- including us humans:

They started with a fly and working towards humans. I figured a bass might be somewhere in between. I posted it as a curiosity.

Well, we've had many obscure topics over the years....on a BASS FISHING site. So certainly this isn't a first. I'd put it right there with the sasquatch, Nessie, and UFO topics we've had. LOL

Not making fun of you, but that's a topic difficult to understand on a forum. Perhaps we can discuss something easier....like string theory.

I didn't actually read the article since I try to avoid Russian website for security reasons.

That said we already have openworm.org dedicated to an open source virtual worm. Maybe an open source bass will be next. 😆

Who's brain is bigger the fly or the worm? Guess I opened a can of those!

Can't wait for the sasquatch brain modeling! We already have alien brain modeling!

Man Glenn you blew my cover! Didn't you know I'm a top secret Russian spy and you just blew my cover for super secret surveillance lures I cast everywhere on top secret fishing rods and reels connected with string theory? Now I may have to fish in Siberia with a short ice pole and dumb old passive lures again. Just my luck exposed on a bass fishing website!

What's string theory? Heck they don't even know if there IS a string theory. I thought you were talking about some new fishing line.

At least they HAVE video of bigfoot! And in Ohio six sightings in the last few days has made the news! The chase is on! Here is a link about as bad as RT:

See! Bigfoot is REAL! Patty says so! Now I gotta go pack for Siberia. Wait. I can't. I live in Florida. Now I gotta shop for clothes for Siberia first. I got nothing to wear there. Flip flops, shorts and t-shirts won't cut it. Thanks Glenn! I liked Florida better & around here all we got are skunk apes.

Wait, Nessie isn't real? But all those documentaries? I believed! Heck I'm still in trouble for blowing it with Santa Claus for my youngest son. She will never let me live that one down. At first he was upset too, but now he's thanking me. She is not however.

Isn't Patty gorgeous! Smoking hot!

If true take 40 years off me and give me VanDams
