Neural networks in biology are general purpose. They have all the requisite parts: computation and memory.

Not sure what you mean about having a perfect BCI. You could grow 3D brain tissue and do arbitrary processing on it but it wouldn't require a perfect BCI to do that.

well, you would need a way to get the raw data into the brain tissue, and a way to get the results out, no?

Our disagreement is purely about nomenclature. If you grow brain tissue in a dish, outside of a brain, it wouldn't be a brain. I guess you'd need a "brain-tissue-computer-interface", which would be far simpler than a BCI.
