YC Brain.
While the current deep learning hype is strong, the models are still either primitive (e.g. gradient descent) and have little to do with how brain works, or they are too complex (e.g. spiking neural networks) and operate on a wrong level of abstraction to be of any use. Neuroscience made some great progress collecting tons of empirical evidence in the last decades, but there is a large disconnect between research communities. Fund a small team of generalists that analyze heaps of neurophysiological data and reverse engineer the brain.
