Current efforts to understand human brain remind me of digging a tunnel from two opposite sides of a mountain. That is, from the first side, a community of researchers is trying to gather data by implanting sensors directly into the brain. From the other side, a different community is getting glimpses into the brain through getting data from "peripheral" organs, e.g. eyes, blood, limbs, skin, etc. I wonder when and where they are going to meet.
