The problem with the flatworm is that its brain can't do very much except move the body. There's no higher language and visual processing as in humans that you could compare the virtual brain against. So, if you want to actually verify the worm's brain in a simulation, you have to build the entire worm and simulate every aspect of it in a physically correct environment - ideally on a level of individual cells. This is a pretty hefty task, but the OpenWorm project is trying to do something like that: https://openworm.org/ https://openworm.org/
