Thank you for sharing your perspective, your expertise and experience in computational cognitive neuroscience on this topic.

Which unfortunately I don't have.

Why do you think that the detailed differences between different types of neurons are not relevant for AI? Could there be some advantages or insights gained from studying how these neurons evolved for different functions and contexts?

How do you explain the recent advances in AI that are inspired by biological mechanisms, such as neuromorphic computing, spiking neural networks, or synaptic plasticity? Do you think these approaches are promising or misguided?

Do you think that mapping the human brain could have other benefits besides informing AI, such as improving our understanding of ourselves, our cognition, our emotions, and our behavior? Do you think that studying dysfunction could help us appreciate and enhance normal function?

I would love to hear your thoughts on these questions. I think this is a fascinating and important debate that deserves more attention and discussion.
