A man transferred the consciousness of a fly into a spider from the game Minecraft

An internet user took a publicly available brain simulation of a fruit fly that died several years ago. After that, he wrote a program allowing Minecraft to read the insect's neurons.

The consciousness of a dead fly was transferred into Minecraft.

The creator of the Ro0oney channel used a brain simulation of a fruit fly that died a few years ago for this. The files containing its brain data are publicly available.

Ro0oney wrote a special program that allows Minecraft to read the dead fly's neurons. After that, he taught the system to control a spider.

The mob actually began behaving like a living creature, but it kept suffocating itself to death. So Ro0oney transferred the fly's consciousness to another mob — a bee — where it seemed to do much better.
