The challenge: "What I cannot create (replicate), I do not understand" – Richard Feynman. We must approach the task of understanding the nervous system with the rigor required to replicate its mechanisms in an engineered system. Everything else will follow from that foundation.
The optimism: “What are the real conditions that the solution must satisfy?” If we can get that right, then we can try and figure out what the solution is" – Murray Gell–Mann
The hope: We will give our utmost effort. Together, we will explore and uncover it!
