Hey, Broca was a phrenologist, so it's not like the field was good for nothing. I'm sure something good will come out of BRAIN, but I doubt it will be what it was intended.
Yeah, the two things I'm keeping my eye on there are in situ proteomics / transcriptomics and expansion microscopy. Both I know have gotten a lot of funding from the initiative and have a lot of potential to change unrelated fields. Maybe it'll be like the moon and we'll brag about all the other tech that fell out of the concentrated funding / innovation. But I also am pretty curious how much information people will be able to extract if / when the real connectomic datasets start rolling out.
