• Question: It seems that your study would not only help create a cure to the disease but also find a but will also help enhance the study of the brain. Do you think that your study will be able to help towards creating Artificial Intelligence, being more specific will it be able to contribute towards creating a Robot that thinks and works like us?

      My study doesn’t really look at how the brain functions – I leave that to neuroscientists! I’m looking more into protecting the nerves that are there. So no, my study won’t contribute to creating a robot at all.

      I think that creating artificial intelligence is the realm of engineers.
