As a working neuroscientist, I’ll co-sign this!

Understanding 50% of the brain, whatever that would even mean, is an utter fantasy.

I should have clarified that I was talking about the specific brain function of semantic comprehension.

I am not suggesting that we are anywhere near having a complete analytical model of 50% of the brain.

I am suggesting that we do have tools to continue answering questions about functional aspects of the brain.

Or am I missing something that indicates the non-utility of “function analysis” of biology-based artificial neural networks?
