Claude Dissects a Virtual Flock's Neural Network and Finds a Command Neuron
A researcher had Claude analyze the neural network controlling a virtual bird flock with predators; it identified orientation-vs-flocking layers and a single command neuron driving scattering and alarm signals, leading the author to propose Virtual Neural Animals as a promising paradigm for neuroscience interpretability.
