Spark Creature

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Myriad's 'Let's Build a Brain' series shows simple neuron circuits producing complex behavior

A Myriad educational article walks through building a simulated creature called a 'spark' using minimal neural circuits—starting with one light-sensing neuron wired to one motor neuron, then expanding to two eyes and two flippers. The demonstrations show that even these simple wiring setups produce surprisingly complex, sometimes counterintuitive movement patterns, such as a spark that appears to avoid light rather than seek it.
