In "Beyond Boundaries, he explains how a kind of global view of the brain works quite well in connected machines to it. In other words it was not too important were we connect or electrodes as long as were sending the right signaling.

Reciprocally, you will have also the ultimate torture machine (by playing back the memories of pain ridden "patients").

We know that neurons fire in Bayesian patterns in response to external stimuli and internal connection weights. We know the brain is divided up into functional modules, and have a quite detailed understanding of certain modules, like the visual cortex. We know enough about the hippocampus in animals that scientists have recreated a part of it to restore rat memory.
