From the engineering point of view (the brain) looks sloppy and gooey and slapped together.

When I tried to figure out how computers worked, I was disgusted. I thought it was totally brute force. I felt there had to be a more elegant way to do this.

If we are able to figure out how these neurons organize themselves, it’s going to provide a solution we need down the road to build more powerful computers.

We’ll be able to interact with these computers the way we interact with each other, they would recognize speech.

How much computation can you squeeze from a given amount of energy.
