01 / evaluation

06 / evaluation

When we apply them outside the brain to other kinds of living systems, we find novel discoveries and novel capabilities, actually being able to get the material to do new things that nobody had ever found before. And precisely because I think that people didn’t look at it from those perspectives, they assumed that it was a low-level kind of thing.
