I would agree if their goal indeed is to put a mind in a jar but, I've not read anything in the article that could indicate that. So may I suggest my own interpretation: Accurate understanding of 'normal' brain behaviour might lead to increased understanding of brain diseases. Thats why alzheimers was mentioned. But more importantly, if our understanding of the brain becomes good enough, we might be able to make a neural net understand our thoughts if we can adapt to it.

And I fairly strongly suggest that these models will not work for brain diseases either. These problems are not merely neuron issues. It’s like modeling veins without modeling the heart. You can maybe do it, although it’ll probably have a lot of issues; but it will certainly not be sufficient to model emergent diseases from heart problems.
