Quite right on optogenetics, that's the other way round. I should have been specific but I didn't mean what scientists think is useful but what the general public thinks will change how we understand the brain, andrhe most popular news in the last couple years relating to brain imaging and BCIs is surely Neuralink. Certainly neuroscientists know their own business better than that. The V1 stuff is what I was referring to, in that there are coherent and common pathways for recognizing low level details like contours. As I recall it is just way more purposefully structured than the more generalized frontal cortex areas. Definitely not suggesting we have achieved anything like complete understanding, or even what complete understanding would look like!
