There are a few neuroscientists on HN. Can someone chime in on this? Does the "computationally intensive" approach that the Europeans appear to be taking, i.e. relying on lots of computer simulations of the brain to increase our understanding of it, seem like a viable one? Is it indeed premature, as the article suggests, for us to attempt to simulate the human brain (or even just parts of it)?
