PROJECT TIN BRAIN

THEY MKULTRA'D A FLY.

Somebody mapped a fruit fly's brain down to the last wire — 138,639 neurons, 15,091,983 synapses — and published it for free. We did not ask what it was for. We asked what it could be conditioned to do.

THEN WE PUT IT IN THE CAT.

SUBJECT 7 carries the whole connectome under the foil. It does not reason. It reacts — and a reaction you can measure is a reaction you can train. Dopamine in, synapse down, opinion changed. That is the entire program.

THE ASSET IS OPERATIONAL. THE HANDLER IS YOU.

You pick the target. The asset twitches. What that twitch means is a human's job, and the cat will never pretend otherwise. Every case stays open until somebody brings receipts.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

🥫BRIEF THE ASSET

Hand it a name, an event, a question. It becomes an odour and goes straight into the implant. Public sources only.

🌀SEE WHAT GIVES IT THE TINGLES

Every target ranked by how hard SUBJECT 7 reacted — and which other targets smell the same to it.

📁PULL THE CASE FILES

Response, training curve, nearest match. Including the targets it flatly refused to learn.

⚡RUN THE CONDITIONING

Pair a target with punishment and watch the readout drop. Sometimes it drops. Sometimes it gets louder. Both are real results.

BEFORE YOU GO IN

⚠ THE PROGRAM IS A BIT. THE BRAIN IS NOT.

Real: the wiring — 138,639 neurons and 15,091,983 synapses from the FlyWire connectome — and the leaky integrate-and-fire simulation running on it. The conditioning is real too: dopamine depressing Kenyon-cell synapses is how a fly actually learns. Those spikes are computed, not drawn.

Invented: the smell, and the spy story around it. We assign each target an odour and watch the brain answer. A fly has no concept of a conspiracy, has never been recruited, and is not in the cat. The response is real; the label is ours.

What it is not: research. Nothing here is investigated or verified, no source is read, and no output is an accusation about anyone. Every panel on this site is a measurement or a label we invented — there is no third category. Question everything, including this.

BRIEF THE ASSET

Hand SUBJECT 7 a new target. It becomes an odour, and the implanted connectome answers it.

YOUR TOPIC

CATEGORYHANDLE (OPTIONAL)

The category is part of the stimulus, not a label — it is folded into the hash, so the same topic files under Crypto and UFO produces two different smells and two different cases.

SHOW IT A PICTURE (optional — it really does see this)

CHOOSE AN IMAGE — OR DROP ONE HERE

The fly really sees this. Your picture is reduced to 32×32 in your browser and those pixels are sampled onto all 10,582 photoreceptors by their own positions on the retina — R1-6 take luminance, R8 green, R7 UV. Dark drives them hardest, because that is how fly photoreceptors work. The original file never leaves your device, only the small grid does, and that is deleted the moment the retina has been driven. Nothing is stored, displayed or published except the response.

Your run starts the moment the payment lands and takes about six seconds. Nothing here is investigated, verified, or published automatically — the output is a neural response, not a finding.

YOUR TOPIC SMELLS LIKE THIS — computed in your browser, no server

These are real Drosophila olfactory receptor channels. The same topic always produces the same smell — the encoder is SHA-256, nothing random.

CASE FILES

Debriefs. Target, odour, and how the asset answered. Status describes the response, never the claim. Every case re-runs from its seed.

Nothing matches that. The cat has no opinion it hasn't already filed.

Wiring and spiking are real: 138,639 neurons, 15,091,983 synapses, leaky integrate-and-fire. The mapping from a topic to a smell is invented and deterministic — a fly has no concept of a conspiracy. The response is real; the label is ours.

WHERE THE BRAIN CAME FROM

The connectome and simulation on this site are real. Data is used with thanks under the terms below.

Connectivity & LIF model — Shiu et al., philshiu/Drosophila_brain_model (MIT). A leaky integrate-and-fire model of the Drosophila brain.
Neuron annotations — Schlegel et al., “Whole-brain annotation and multi-connectome cell typing of Drosophila”, Nature (2024); optic lobe annotations from Matsliah et al., Nature (2024).
Connectome — the FlyWire FAFB 783 public release.

Two runs, and only one of them counts. Everything measured — the tingle, Kenyon sparsity, the learning curve, teachability — is computed on the olfactory learning circuit: ORN → antennal lobe projection neurons → Kenyon cells → MBONs, with dopaminergic and APL neurons. 8,572 neurons, 606,719 synapses.

Brain Cam can also show a second run over the whole connectome (138,639 neurons, 15,091,983 synapses, LIF with a 1.8 ms synaptic delay and a 5 ms alpha synapse). That one is for looking at, not for measuring. The full network cannot hold biologically sparse Kenyon coding and a clean mushroom-body readout at the same time — pushing sparsity down with APL inhibition drags the readout down with it, and the best whole-brain setting found was still about six times too dense. The circuit does both at once, so the circuit stays the instrument.
