Well, this is a tricky semantic issue, because it is both true that we know a lot about the brain and that there is a lot we do not yet know. For instance, we still don’t know precisely how memory works. We know a lot about what areas are activated when memories are stored and recalled, and we know a lot of facts about memory, like what causes things to transfer from short term to long term memory, but we can’t diagram the literal process of storing, maintaining, and retrieving memories like we can describe for a computer. There is a ton of complex collaboration between areas of the brain and we can’t “see” how the data is being managed and processed. Does that mean we don’t know what kind of general limits the brain has? I can’t speak to that, but I’d imagine most neuroscientists would agree there are some limits we could reasonably assume about the brain’s capabilities from what we already know, and that would include things like superpowers. In a sense, the way our brains process information is already a superpower compared to where machine learning and AI are currently.
