I guess what I don’t understand is how you can get the specificity you need out of all the cells in a particular area of the brain. Like: even if you know you want the fifth layer of the cortex in some known motor control area… can you really just activate some number of cells and it just works??

In part because it seems to leave so much room for memory recall to be a creative act, which I am realizing I am quite keen on (from introspection!)
I think I’m finding that my snap judgments are biased against a lot of neuroscientific methods. I think I’ve overtrained on the critiques of fMRI I heard early in my career
