Could you build this?
Partial The interactive audio synthesis UI can be built with standard Web Audio APIs, but translating real neural connectome datasets into acoustic resynthesis requires domain-specific neurobiology knowledge.
What it would actually take: The project requires an interactive web stack (Web Audio API / WebAssembly DSP) ingesting mapped neural connectome datasets (e.g., from Janelia or FlyWire). The challenging aspect is interpreting connectome graph topologies and acoustic motor circuit activity to modulate sound synthesis parameters (carrier frequencies, pulse rates) that authentically match drosophila courtship songs.
