A fly-brain model reportedly surfed for 41 seconds in a simulation

A post claims a modeled fly nervous system kept a surfboard upright for 41 seconds on run 263, after 262 attempts ended in the water. It describes feeding a rendered wave into the system’s visual pathways and board-tilt signals through nerves used for balance in flight. According to the account, feedback consisted of dopamine tied to time upright, with no demonstrations or example rides. The post also notes the setup’s limits: simplified water and a rigid board.
