4. […] There is a 98% chance they will not map the right aspects of the nervous system that they’ll need to understand how it works. What they should do is spend their billion dollars on the drosophila and make sure they understand it thoroughly, before wasting money on wrong theories of what to map in the human brain.

5. – Marvin Minsky, on human brain mapping projects. (2013) […] There is a 98% chance they will not map the right aspects of the nervous system that they’ll need to understand how it works. What they should do is spend their billion dollars on the drosophila and make sure they understand it thoroughly, before wasting money on wrong theories of what to map in the human brain.
