Question

What does the author mean when he refers to reverse engineering the brain?

a.studying brain activity by observing a person's actions
b.studying the electrical impulses of the brain and then comparing them to an average circuit board
c.studying the workings of the brain by disassembling its components and then reassembling them
d.studying the anatomic structure from the back of the brain to the front?

Answer 1

The correct answer is c.studying the workings of the brain by disassembling its components and then reassembling them.
The process of reverse engineering involves disassembling the main structure and analyzing individually its components and workings in detail. Reverse engineering of the brain includes building neuromorphic computing systems with simulating the spiking of biological brains.
