If it were known that there where physical interactions occurring within the brain that deviated from the standard model, we wouldn't bother building didn't colliders.

Even if the brain showed a real deviation from the Standard Model, we’d still need colliders. The brain is a messy, low energy environment, and observation isn’t identification.

Colliders provide clean, high energy tests to pin down masses, spins, and couplings, and we already need them for open problems. A bio anomaly would set targets, not replace colliders.
