Description

Ever wanted a living, breathing digital brain on your wrist? Welcome to NeuroWorm C.elegans WatchFace - a tiny, fully interactive tribute to decades of mind-blowing neuroscience. You are now wearing an actual, biologically modeled Connectome: a digital replica of the entire neural system and brain of Caenorhabditis elegans, the legendary little worm that pioneered full genomic and synaptic mapping. It is a humble salute to all the brilliant scientists who, starting way back in 1986, dedicated their lives to mapping every single neuron and synapse of this incredible creature. A true triumph of human intellect, scientific tenacity, and the unbeatable ingenuity of Mother Nature and Father Evolution. A quick heads-up, though: Your new microscopic wrist buddy is alive and motivated by actual neurochemistry. So... we sincerely apologize in advance if it nibbles on your time digits when it’s hungry, and well... leaves a few tiny digital "pebbles" behind on the screen when nature calls. Hey, biology isn't always neat! Work in Progress & Human Patience Required: There is still a lot of heavy engineering ahead to link this biological neural network to all of your smartwatch's hardware sensors... and eventually, to your nervous system, user ;) Please be patient with us: evolution took hundreds of millions of years to build this organism, whereas I’ve only been coding this project for about a month. Active optimization is ongoing, so if you spot any bugs or weird behavior, please report them to the developer! Data Attribution & Credits: The neural network topology, synaptic polarities, and sign-balances in this app are built upon the open-access research data from: Fenyves BG, Szilágyi GS, Vassy Z, Sőti C, Csermely P (2020) Synaptic polarity and sign-balance prediction using gene expression data in the Caenorhabditis elegans chemical synapse neuronal connectome network.

What is new

2.4 Ancestral Memory Restored: Our digital worm previously laboured under the delusion that he was immortal and could slorp through repellent unscathed. We have politely reminded his ASH nociceptors that toxins hurt. He now stops, re-evaluates his life choices, and seeks a reroute. v2.3 Fixed overthinking issues in C. elegans: bad thoughts are gone, appetite is great v2.2 Brainwash Therapy: Our worm is now much smarter, far more energetic, and noticeably more polite - meaning way less random screen pooping! v2.1 New "Elegant Outfit" & Brisk Self Expression v1.9 Trimmed the fat off our neurochemistry and vitals processing! The HUD is now hyper-efficient, letting your digital pet think faster than a Garmin user can complain about battery life. v1.6-8 Added egg hatching, auto-calibration, and worm bedtime logic - plus a compactized Lab Rat display so you can watch its brain tick while it gets its beauty sleep! v1.6: Added egg hatching & auto-calibration! Because a high-standard C. elegans demands a perfectly tailored habitat before making its grand entry. v1.5: Habitat auto-calibration added: because high-standard worms demand peak neural performance v1.4: Fixed perf bug & an unexpected diarrhea bug & nervous tics or catatonia - the worm’s connectome is calm and back in control! v1.1 - 4 new futuristic renderers (Cyber-Crystal, Laser HUD) with real-time neural tracking! 100% biological autonomy: removed artificial pacemakers and timers — he now moves and poops purely when nature calls. v1.0: Added a new "Lab" visual style featuring smooth elastic rendering and neural calcium imaging. v0.9: Rewrote the neural engine: the worm is 1.5x faster, eats half the RAM, and now fits on Fenix 5 plus. v0.8: Worm Vitals - Displays your worm's internal neurochemistry: Hunger, Dopamine, Serotonin, Octopamine, and FLP-11 peptide. v0.7: Thinks your worm is getting a bit too lazy? Give it a nose tap! v0.6: Worked closely with the worm’s mental health - it officially promised to stop panicking every time it hits the Petri dish wall... err, your watch bezel. We also dropped a few sodium grains into the simulation, turns out our C. elegans is a absolute salt addict (just hoping it doesn't ask for lime and tequila tomorrow). v0.5: Calmed the worm’s nerves after its full-body physics transplant, and slashed RAM footprint to support even more smartwatch models. Now even more wrists can proudly carry a genuine, unhinged nematode brain. v0.4: Gave the worm a shiny new physics-driven body: the old silicon-puppet flex was cute, but zero-trig inverse kinematics is straight biomechanical p...perfection. v0.3: Worm Update: Anxiety Meds & Notification Triggers We've been doing some virtual psychiatry. Our little buddy was suffering from severe existential anxiety in its new digital petri dish, leading to some... concerning seizures (the dreaded "kovbasylo" glitch). We’ve tweaked its neurochemistry, and it’s much calmer now. Mostly. However, please be advised that it really dislikes incoming phone notifications. We’ve noticed a spike in chaotic neural activity whenever you get a text. It might panic. Watch closely! v0.2: We sincerely apologize! It seems our NeuroWorm became a bit too happy living in its digital petri dish. As the old saying goes, "time flies when you're having fun," and our worm took that quite literally, accidentally suspending the very flow of time on your watch face. We’ve reminded it that humans actually rely on linear time. Timekeeping functionality has been fully restored!
