Could you build this?
Partial The browser front-end and Three.js game environment are accessible, but adapting real connectome biological data into a stable leaky integrate-and-fire dynamic simulation that drives tank controls requires computational neuroscience modeling.
What it would actually take: Stack uses TypeScript, Three.js, and Web Audio. The challenging part is ingesting the Janelia/Cambridge MaleCNS connectome graph, mapping synaptic weight models into a real-time discrete-time leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) numerical solver at 1ms steps, and designing biological sensorimotor transfer functions that translate game telemetry into neural input currents without model instability.
