Seems like a remarkably strong statement from one of the leading labs doing imaging studies of the brain.https://twitter.com/gallantlab/status/927701522665807872 …

String theory has way less experimental validations than the worst theory in neuroscience. Let's not aim at that
No. String theory has the standard model of particle physics as a low-energy limit. Some predictions are accurate to better than one part in a trillion. The "no predictions" comment common in popular writing refers to predictions beyond the standard model.

Nope. There are 10^500 possible string theories, each corresponding to a different vacuum state (different physics). Since this number is gigantic, it is likely that one of those theories give raise to the SM at its low energy limit.

Basically, there are many string theories for every possible low energy limit... this means zero predictive power.
