As a neuroscientist, I can't name a single discovery or technology derived from the #HBP. Perhaps I am being unfair because I don't work on the human brain. But I'd have expected far more bang for all that buck.Imagine, if the subject had been a fly or a fish – far more matched to the technological means of 10 years ago and actually useful to advance our understanding of circuit function in health and disease.
