Color learning 13.03.2026

Results from first attempt at the habit formation trial. Strong positive preference in the beginning as well as low number of successful flies obscures the results. Reason for the disturbed OR at the end is that the offset for one fly was accidentally shifted while attempting to restart flight with a brush.

Torque results 12.02.2026, learning is abolished and many of the flies died. Think improper feeding is to blame. Granulated sugar had become encrusted and possibly inaccessible to the flies, potentially resulting in starvation. In the future, I’ll resolve to use less sugar and to clean more frequently to prevent this kind of buildup.

Results for 10.02.2026, 24 flies, 7 completed trial. Main source of failure was flies stopping flight and refusing to resume. Had some difficulty getting flightless torque on the unpunished domain.
