Will we ever be able to scan the wiring of this spider's neurons and "run it" on a computer? That would be amazing, I think. Then we could create virtual worlds

Will we ever be able to scan the wiring of this spider's neurons and "run it" on a computer? That would be amazing, I think. Then we could create virtual worlds for these virtual spiders and let them evolve, supposedly much faster than "normal" evolution.
