# Connectome Proofreading **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Type:** Reconstruction-quality method **Primary sources:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]]; [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] ## Definition **Connectome proofreading** is the correction and validation of automated neural reconstructions, especially split and merge errors that change graph structure. ## Relationships - The [[wiki/FlyWire Consortium|FlyWire Consortium]] combined researchers and citizen scientists in a large proofreading effort. - CAVE and related versioning tools are part of [[wiki/Connectome Reconstruction Infrastructure|Connectome Reconstruction Infrastructure]]. - Proofreading history is [[wiki/Neural Data Provenance|neural-data provenance]] because every edit can alter the scientific graph. <!-- BEGIN HUMANIZED RELATIONSHIPS 2026-09-11 --> This entry is routed through [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]], [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]], and [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]].
