Neuroscientist: “the brain is not computable, no engineering can reproduce it.”

[zenmaster]

So how could we recreate a brain when we have little understanding of how the brain actually works?

Well, you could certainly do a better job than what we have right now, and in the process, gain understanding of both the brain and mind. I think the effort makes sense and is worthwhile, and the fact that the brain can't be reproduced is inconsequential compared to what can potentially be learned. Actually, I don't think the claim has any relevance.
