+[Straw Bale figure-eight with live model activity](videos/2026-09-20-connectome/README.md): 49 seconds beside 30,000 model neurons and stick outputs. This flight uses the existing motor brain and a scripted target; the experimental navigation forecaster is not controlling it.

+<video controls src="straw_bale_connectome_figure8.mp4"></video>
+
+49 seconds of a new Straw Bale flight on **[Copy] New Drone**, captured at 20 fps.
+The left panel shows live activity from the 30,000-neuron connectome model and the
+sent stick outputs. Colours identify neuron populations; brightness is relative
+to each neuron's recent baseline. Neurons use the same anatomical layout as the
+project's existing brain renderer.
+
+The existing `ftPath2_best.pt` motor brain follows a scripted figure-eight target
+with yaw assistance. The experimental navigation v0.2 model is **not** part of
+this flight. The brain panel samples the latest pilot state beside the screen
+capture; physical image/telemetry delay is uncalibrated.
