Gabe Newell talks about interfacing with the cortex as a tractable problem but we have no idea where to start to induce a sensation of feeling cold.
Michael Levin at Tufts is triggering regeneration manipulating electrical state in limbs directly, not the brain.
There’s more to it than the brain itself, which is why I think using neurons as a model for consciousness will never achieve AI that isn’t obvious.
