Fly brain controls PS2 games via custom emulator setup

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A hobbyist has successfully integrated a fly's brain with a PlayStation 2 emulator, creating a system dubbed the "Flystation 2." This setup allows the fly brain to control PS2 games by interpreting visual cues and issuing commands through a simulated controller. The creator is currently developing a universal trainer to enable the fly brain to learn and adapt to various games, exploring methods like direct reward function programming or visual learning systems.
