A researcher fine-tuned the MaleCNS fruit fly nervous system model so it holds the four Y-M-C-A poses in response to 4 specific tones, joking that LoVP92 — the region tied to reproductive drive — took the biggest hit. Side note: a fruit fly is extremely stable on just 4 of its 6 legs. Training code will be open-sourced soon.
