I don't believe that fMRI has sufficient temporal or spatial resolution to support the claims in this paper.
A typical voxel contains a million or so neurons, and only shows a correlate of the energy consumption in it. Assuming there’s some kind of mapping between an artificial NN and voxels is quite a step. So yeah, highly speculative IMO.
