FlyWire Data Challenge: BANC-VNC Matching
First, Congratulations to the winners the Flywire Feedback Data Challenge! Find a recording of the Award Lecture at took place at Princeton University on Oct 28, 2024, here. Up next: cell identification in The BANC. Jump the the VNC Challenge Page in Codex Our goal in this challenge is to determine whether connectivity information alone…

FlyWire Data Challenge: Feedforward Sort with Minimum Feedback
In this challenge our goal is to order neurons from the fly connectome in a maximally “feedforward” way. The high level motivation is gaining insights into the direction of information flow in the brain. The FlyWire connectome is modeled as a directed graph G=(V,E) where V – nodes – represent neurons, and E – weighted…

Finding Paths in Codex
With this tool you can specify one or more source cells + one or more target cells, set a minimum synapse threshold per connection, and get a matrix with shortest path lengths for all source/target pairs. From there, you can inspect / visualize the pathways between any pair of cells in detail.

Banc-Bot Guide
Welcome to the BANC! We’re happy you’ve decided to join us to begin proofreading in the GNG (Gnathal Ganglia) of fruit fly brain and nerve cord! If you’re coming from Eyewire, or even if you are a seasoned Flyer, with this dataset we’ll be tracking progress a little differently. We’ll be using a little friend called…

BANC Guide for Citizen Scientists
Hello, intrepid explorers of the microscopic universe! FlyWire’s recent 4 year adventure into connectomics mapped the entire brain of a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) at synapse resolution. We’re thrilled to announce the next endeavor: The BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord), a dataset generated by Jasper Phelps and Minsu Kim for Wei-Chung Lee’s Lab at Harvard…

Visual Columns Mapping Challenge
If you are good at programming / data analysis / algorithms and like challenges read on! FlyWire is issuing its first Data Challenge. Data Challenge: A wiring diagram of a brain is modeled as a directed graph with weighted edges, where nodes represent neurons and edges represent synaptic connections (weight = # synapses). In this…

Expert Proofreading Tips for the BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord) Dataset
Here are some proofreading tips specific to the BANC (Brain and Nerve Cord) dataset in FlyWire. Using Mitochondria For Continuations For this particular dataset, you may often find that the dark mitochondria in a branch cause the AI to grow confused and terminate the branch instead of finding the extension. However, although most mitochondria don’t…

FlyWire Winter ’23 Update
It’s officially the start of the fall and winter holidays here in the northern hemisphere. Time to break out the hot drinks and relax by the warmth of the computer while you do a little connectome exploration. It’s been a while since we updated the blog (and we’ll try to do this more frequently).ere is…
