Could you build this?
No Simulating a biological fruit fly connectome to play DOOM is an advanced computational neuroscience research problem that cannot be built through standard AI coding.
What it would actually take: Building this requires processing the FlyWire/Janelia electron-microscopy whole-brain connectome into a biophysical neural network simulation (such as Leaky Integrate-and-Fire models). Developers must construct an interface between the ViZDoom environment and biological sensory neural inputs (translating visual frames into optic lobe firing rates) and decode motor neuron outputs into keyboard actions, demanding specialized computational neuroscience research.
