“Reacting to the functionalist credo that the mind can be modeled independent of knowledge of how the brain works, philosopher Patricia Churchland and computational neuro-scientist Terrence Sejnowski have argued, "Nature is more ingenious than we are. And we stand to miss all that power and ingenuity unless we attend to neurobiological plausibility. The point is, evolution has already done it, so why not learn how that stupendous machine, our brain, actually works?”
