At the very least it would provide interesting FPGA technology.
I think most engineers recognize that the brain has a lot of unknowns.
When you say "educate" what exactly do you mean? We can train neural networks now to, say, recognize handwriting or other behavior. I think we are just after a system that can learn anything in general, say take a chess program and then give it checkers. Or Magic: The Gathering.
Also, the field seriously needs people like you. It seems like there are at lot of engineers who are into the brain and want to build stronger AI but not many biologists who want to do the same.
