Fruit Fly Brain Observatory


The Fruit Fly Brain Observatory (FFBO) is an open collaborative ecosystem. FFBO standardizes tools for the representation of fruit fly brain data and its abstractions, and creates a focus for the neuroscience community with interests in the emulation and biological validation of fruit fly brain models in health and disease. The FFBO encourages the sharing of fruit fly brain structural data and executable code worldwide.

We provide a repository called FFBO.launcher that can be used to install and launch FFBO in very simple steps. The installation relies on Docker images hosted on Docker Hub, and the launching is based on docker-compose.

We also provide this Amazon Machine Image on Amazon Web Services for easily launching your own FFBO tools. Detailed instructions can be found in FFBO.launcher .
