Second on my #edgeQ shitlist is @GaryMarcus who seems to be discouraging neuroscientists from taking a data-first approach to the brain(1/2)

@GaryMarcus ... As far as I can tell more data is EXACTLY what neuroscience needs to make progress in modelling brain function (2/2)
@sflicht nobody said we don't need more data, but we need theories and hypotheses, too.

@GaryMarcus wrt the human brain, not even clear how to get the data right? Fmri can only go so far and other tech is destructive of tissue? -
@sflicht lots of interesting data (Koch, Fried, and others) using electrodes in epileptic patients. agree re limits of fMRI.
