FlyVision is a connectome-informed visual architecture combining ON/OFF pathways, recurrent processing, and interactions among neuron-like populations. It scales across task-specific outputs and is evaluated on image classification and scan-level MRI prediction. On a 3,175-image chest test split, pretrained FlyVision Base achieved 92.60% accuracy versus 91.56% for ResNet18. These results support transfer across evaluated settings, not universal generality or biological causation.
