A researcher has developed a Python-based digital twin of their dog, Jackie, using fMRI and EEG data. The system simulates Jackie's emotional state and brain activity based on various stimuli, aiming for inspectability rather than state-of-the-art accuracy. The project, available on GitHub, uses simple Python code without deep learning frameworks to map stimuli to emotional vectors and brain region activations, reflecting real-world physiological and behavioral responses.
