About us:
At Eon, we are at the forefront of large-scale neuroscientific connectomic data collection. Our mission is to enable the safe and scalable development of brain emulation technology to empower humanity over the next decade, starting with a digital twins of a fruit fly and a mouse.
Role
At Eon, we intend to create a embodied digital twins of animals. This role would create embodied Drosophila that perform tasks using existing physics simulations (MuJoCo). They would integrate these body simulations with connectome-based brain simulations to create the realistic, embodied brain models. Extensive, hands-on experience with computational neuroscience is required.
Responsibilities
•
Use existing embodied fly models (e.g., Flybody, NeuroMechFly/Flygym) to simulate Drosophila melanogaster behaviors.
•
Create compelling demonstrations of virtual flies performing tasks in a virtual environment.
•
Customize and iterate models to achieve biologically plausible behaviors.
•
Document all code and workflows to ensure reproducibility.
•
Creation of virtual environments and bodies in Drosophila, and eventually mice.
