I wonder how they plan to do parameter estimation? Millions of nonlinear dynamic models running, each with at least 3 free parameters in the simplest of neuron models, with an almost infinite number of possible topologies of the networks. That is quite the search space and neuroscience can provide very little prior knowledge.
